John Putnam Sr. was responsible for the majority of the conflict by suing and threatening individuals who were later accused of witchcraft.

And then John Putnam Sr. is the biggest dick in the world. He's the one who had sued a bunch of people who all seem to be on the accused side. That Reverend Burroughs that I mentioned earlier, Reverend Burroughs skipped out of town because he didn't like the way things were going. John Putnam Sr. sues him or threatens to sue him because he's like, you breached your contract as the minister of this town. And he's like, all right, I'll come back. But the two of them, because that's kind of an honorable thing on his part. Burroughs comes back. Two of them still don't get along. 15 years later, he's like... Fucking dude's a witch. And then Burroughs is hung. He ends up being hung.
