Red ScareDuring the 1950's America was in a very hostile relationship withe the Soviet Union post War World 2. The United States and the Soviet came out of the war as the most powerful countries. Then it all went crazy when the Soviets detonated their first A-Bomb and the U.S government believed that there were Soviet spies in american land. McCarthy stated that there were communist in the States that wanted the country to turn Communist. Accusations of famous people were made and the people started to blame people who they "believed" were communist.

The Crucible
The Crucible, was a play by Arthur Miller in which he expressed his feelings during the time he was living in by referencing the Salem Witch Trials. He showed society how in the 1600's innocent people were being accused and convicted of being witches and relating it to when he was living in the time period of the red scare. It was very similar in the sense that McCarthy was accusing innocent people of being communist.
