used it to launch a new version of the Salem Witch-hunts. In Colonial America, innocent people were burnt to death on accusations of being witches.

Well... no.

I know it is not what Hollywood would have you believe but no one was burnt as a witch in Salem.

Good point.

Some were hanged. None were burned at the stake.
