The Salem witch trials, a dark chapter in American history, are epitomized by Samuel Sewall, a Puritan judge who condemned twenty individuals on false charges. While these events could have tarnished his legacy, Sewall's unique act of contrition sets him apart, as he publicly acknowledged his wrongdoings. This act of repentance is memorialized in a mural beneath the Massachusetts State House's golden dome, highlighting his journey from judge to a figure of redemption amidst the infamous trials that have inspired numerous literary works.
