Anecdotes
Epilogue: "In January of 1693, Sir William Phips reprieved the sentences of all the remaining witches awaiting execution."

"In all 20 innocent people were killed. Tituba Indian, unable to pay her prison fees, remained in jail until she was sold to a new home."

"The impact of the Salem witch trials was so profound that it brought down an entire way of life, marking the end of puritanism and the beginning of what would eventually become America."

"At the insistence of their descendants, the last five of those accused of witchcraft were officially pardoned by the state of Massachusetts on October 31, 2001."

Gaffes
In reality, Governor Phips was only 41 at the time of the Salem Witch Trials. The film depicts him as obviously much older.

An interesting mini series

I thought this was a very interesting mini series, definitely not holding back on the gruesome side of the 'old life'. They had tons of good actors and actresses stuck in and it's half the fun pointing to the people and saying, "Hey I saw them somewhere!" Even when, dissapointingly, they only have a few seconds screen space or have no name at all. (A good example is May's father)

It's horrible how the people reacted to whatever excuse they could think of first to explain the terrible deeds happening, and so much they said was Satan's or God's punishment! And how the children would target certain people, yes, you will see what I mean. Feeling important now that they are recognized.

And here's a scene to look out for. I near cried, it being so powerful, of strength and unity still within a dank prison. When Goody Nurse is in prison and praying and all the prisoners shout out what they would find God in. I wanted to join them (well, not really), and feel the first ray of light that touched their hearts in many a day.
