The Salem trials ended in May 1693! The long term effects they had were on u.s court procedures. This included the rights to legal representation and the presumption that one is innocent until proven guilty. The Salem witch trials also created lots of religious and political tension between the colony and england.

they ended may 1693, some long term effects are The haphazard fashion in which the Salem witch trials were conducted contributed to changes in U.S. court procedures, including rights to legal representation and cross-examination of accusers as well as the presumption that one is innocent until proven guilty.
