Salem Witch Trials

Epilogue: "In January of 1693, Sir William Phips reprieved the sentences of all the remaining witches awaiting execution."

"In all 20 innocent people were killed. Tituba Indian, unable to pay her prison fees, remained in jail until she was sold to a new home."

"The impact of the Salem witch trials was so profound that it brought down an entire way of life, marking the end of puritanism and the beginning of what would eventually become America."

"At the insistence of their descendants, the last five of those accused of witchcraft were officially pardoned by the state of Massachusetts on October 31, 2001."

In reality, Governor Phips was only 41 at the time of the Salem Witch Trials. The film depicts him as obviously much older.
