Witch-Hunting

Witchcraft was combated fiercely by both Catholics and Protestants, with civil authorities lending a firm hand to the Church. The many executions of Protestants and Jews by the Catholic Inquisition is shown in several illustrations here as an analogous phenomenon. The most famous witch hunt in America (literally speaking) took place in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692 and had Cotton Mather as its theorist.
