See, someone actually did a historical chart.
Historical Witches and Witch Trails in the US. They are harder to track
because we don't have some of the record keeping. But keep in mind the
pesky European Christians doing it in Europe, came over here -- and did the
same thing for the same reasons. Also a lot of them were refugees from
Europe for practicing harsh religions. The US was partially founded on
Christian Religious Freedom for crazy Christian religious sects. (Puritans
a prime example).
It's just we only had one famous one -- that Arthur Miller chose to write
about. But there were 100s. Some recorded, some not.
Granted people had more room to run and hide -- so it was harder to catch
witches.

No, we had more than one. ;-)
