The victims of the salem trials were murdered through an intolerant, abusive and missogenous system, as it allowed innocent women to be accused of witchcraft without any proof and killed in a terrifying way. Some men were also murdered in these courts, showing that injustice and intolerance were above all. As this was a sad event in the USA, we can consider that the descendants of these people have a negative impact on this story, as they understand the suffering and agony that their ancestors had to go through.
