Answer: It has changed religious and political views in America today because Puritans began to separate protestant sects, The Salem Witch Trials discouraged a disconnection between religion and government, this had also helped to lead to the idea of " Separation of church and state" that is included in the US Constitution.

Explanation: Residents of Salem Village were mostly poor farmers who made their living cultivating crops in the rocky terrain. Salem Town, on the other hand, was a prosperous port town at the center of trade with London. Most of those living in Salem Town were wealthy merchants.
