EDIT:
The Salem Witch Trials is not an effin' book! They were a series of trials for witchcraft in 1692 Salem that condemned 19 innocent people.
Ann Rinaldi has written fiction about the witch panic in Salem. Worthwhile books about the trials include:
The Enemy Within by John Demos
In the Devil's Snare by Mary Beth Norton
Witch Hunt by Marc Aronson
A Fever in Salem by Laurie Carlson.
John Indian was Reverend Parris's blackamoor (slave) also Tituba's husband.

Care to put a comment on the disscussion page telling Answer.com which fictional account of the Salem trials you read? No boys laughed at how little sense the trials made. Only learned men and women believed the trials to be absurd.
The last Salem witch trial was in may of 1693. The last witch trial was in Germany in the earky 1800s.
In specific - nothing. In genera there are certain similarities between the state of near panic that made otherwise rational men throw accusations around every which way, and to sentence people on very vague evidence.

Not particularly. The Salem Witch Trials were persecuting so-called witches, and Nazi anti-Semitism was persecuting Jews. They both made the persecuted people end up in smoke, but other than that, I can't think of anything.
They didn't start quickly. The affliction began in January. The examinations, that can be most easily compared to a Grand Jury trial, began in March. The trials themselves began in June. That's average progression for a witch panic.
The Earliest English settlers took their fear of witches to the American colonies. In 1692 , a series of Notorious witch trials took place in Salem, Massachusetts. In all, 27 people were tried and convicted; of these 19 were hanged, and one man was pressed to death with stones. The gruesome trials, made the Americans to stop that, and the trials were condemned and the convictions are overturned. P.S : For more answers, please visit Wikipedia.
