It's probably because of how irrational the whole thing was. Nothing about the fear of witches made any sense, and how they went about "proving" if someone was a witch pretty much made it so the accused had no chance. But eh, we've come a long way.

Oh no 20 people were murdered in the colonial era, my heart bleeds
I mean, i'm not really to the point of giving a shit when I hear about it but yeah it was pretty damn stupid. What is that old movie about the Salem Witch Trials? Googling is too hard for me.
