  "summary": "On Tuesday, September 22, 2026, Martha Corey, Margaret Scott, Mary Easty, Alice Parker, Ann Pudeator, Wilmott Redd, Samuel Wardwell, and Mary Parker, the final eight individuals accused of witchcraft during the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts Bay Colony, were hanged. This brings the total number of executions during the trials to 19, with an additional six deaths attributed to the ensuing hysteria. In a separate event, U.S. President Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, vowing to free all enslaved individuals in the rebellious Southern states if they were to remain in rebellion by January 1, 1863.",
