A decrease in the overall population and for the families that lost a person due to a witch hunt, it brought pain and sadness. Back then, men did the work. So if a man was accused of being a witch and he was put to death, the family had no income, no way to live. So it had a huge effect of everyone.

With hundreds in jail, the economy suffered because less and less people were actually working. The abandonment of farms because of imprisonment and the strange desire to observe the spectacles of the trials caused a famine. And Puritanism and Puritan leaders lost their power in Massachusetts.

How did Samuel Parrish contribute to the Salem Witch Trials?

There was no Samuel Parrish in Salem during the witch panic. However, if there's a typo and you were asking about Samuel Parris... Parris was the reverand of the church in Salem Village and the father and uncle respectively of the first to of the afflicted.
