    The Salem witch trials, a shameful period in early New England history, provided a salient theme for several nineteenth-century American writers, including John Greenleaf Whittier and John William De Forest. Writer and reformer John Neal (1793-1876) was an advocate, among other causes, of female suffrage and capital punishment reform.
