 * ** North America was home to many British colonies, including the colony of Massachusetts. It was here that Puritan colonists held the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. It was a period of unrest in Salem, Massachusetts at the end of the 17th Century. There were struggles between the two distinct parts of Salem which was Salem Village and Salem Town. Many of the farmers stayed in Salem Village and wanted nothing to do with Salem Town. Salem Village soon set up their own church where Reverend Samuel Parris presided and because of Reverend Parris' daughter and niece that the Salem Witch Trials began.Five years after the witch trials ended, Mr. Parris and his family moved to another town. but the after math of what his daughter and hie niece still hunts the small Salem Village to this very day.
