Witchcraft in the southern United States has a long and complex history. The belief in witchcraft and the practice of magic has been part of the region's culture since colonial times. During the colonial period, witchcraft was viewed with suspicion and fear. The early settlers in the southern colonies, particularly in areas such as Salem, Massachusetts, were deeply religious and believed that witchcraft was the work of the devil. This led to the infamous Salem witch trials, where several people were accused of practicing witchcraft and were executed. In the rural areas of the southern United States, folk magic and the belief in witches persisted even after the colonial period.
