Are humans good or evil based on the salem witch trials?

My vote: EVIL. Why? Because a large majority of the "witches" who were tried and ultimately executed were often old women whose husbands had died, leaving them vulnerable to tax demands they could no longer meet or various other manipulations. When the pious church fathers got them condemned as witches, their land and holdings were available for "redistribution." Not only was the whole mess insane, but often proceeded in that manner in the name of one of the ugliest land grabs in our history. When you're uncertain of the motive, follow the money trail. THERE'S something to research. When you get Religion and real estate together, Satan is in the HOUSE!
