Introduction

The purpose of this blog is to show how the Crucible and McCarthyism are alike. How they influenced people living in that time period
Joseph McCarthy (top picture) was a Senator concerned with the large spread of communism going on in Easter Europe and China. McCarthy then accused over two hundred people in the United States of being communist's. McCarthyism is known as the hunt for the so believed communist's that were living in the United States. The Crucible (bottom picture) by Arthur Miller resembles McCarthyism. Like McCarthy making false accusations, in Salem, girls made radical accusation of witchcraft through the village.
