How long did mccarthyism last? also, how long did the salem witch trials last?

How are the Salem Witch Trials and McCarthyism similar?

  • Answer:

    They both deal with the community turning on each other due to false accusations, in the Salem Witch trails, Abigail is the one accusing other towns people of there witchcraft, in almost all case's she does not have any evidence, except the play she puts on for the community, she starts to use fear to keep people who know the truth from speaking out, and she accuses anyone she hasn't already if they challenger her and say she's lying. Joseph McCarthyism, happened when Joseph McCarthy started falsely accusing people of being a communist, a lot of them lost there jobs and ruined there reputations for the rest of there life's. Most of the accusations had no proof to back them up and yet got such main stream publicity by the media that most of the people accused names where never fully cleared.
