The Salem Witchcraft Trials had a large impact on the community. During the time of the trials, no one was around to take care of the crops, resulting in a poor harvest. Those who were accused, and put in jail, stayed in jail due to their lack of food and money. Today, many different scientists are researching what could have caused the girls to have their strange fits, and why the trials even started.
The Salem Witch Trials of 1692-1693 have had a lasting impact on Western, and particularly American, Culture. Without overlooking its influence on ordinary linguistics (including jokes, proverbs, and sayings) and also the arts (including both personages and themes), these trials continue to whisper a socio-political, legal, and even philosophical reminder of sorts: where an accusation is allowed uncritical space in which to be made and granted untempered time in which to grow, injustice is likely to follow -- perhaps even violence, as well.
The Salem Witch Trials did not really have that much of an impact on American laws. It happened a very long time ago, and most people did not think much of it at the time. They did what felt normal to them. They wanted to protect themselves.
They caused the country to go into anacry!
