I do not  think something like The Salem Witch Trials would be able to happen now in our day. People nowadays do not really believe in witches. People now a days get a fair hearing with evidence or proof.

In the article "According to PBS, experts now believe that the symptoms were caused by ergot, a fungus that can taint rye grain crops, especially if the harvest season is humid."  The people at Salem didn't know what was happening to their children. Today, we got doctors, medical and psychology, who can immediately find what's wrong with a person.

Then the article said, "For decades after the trial, descendants of the victims demanded justice and compensation for their pain; by the early 1700s, all but six of the accused had been exonerated of the crimes." When people calmed down, they noticed that they had been killing innocent people. People should not be quick to judge especially if someone's life is at stake.

A lot has changed from then and now we have better technology to help people. Technology has helped out people a lot from being sick.Those girls needed help but no one noticed that they needed it and since they were little girls they didnt suspect anything
