WITCH TRIALS AND McCARTHYISM

WITCH TRIALS

• 20 executions where in direct consequences of the trials
• This was started by young girls
• This for ever ruined Salems reputation
• Started in 1692

McCARTHYISM

• Started in 1950s
• No known deaths from the accusations
• Started by Sen. McCarthy
• Ruined reputations of many we'll know figures in the government

THE CAUSE

• The cause of the witch trials was about land disputes
• It was also a good way for a enemy to get rid of a old grudge
• This was the reason of the accusing part but it started when a black
• Woman called the devil with some other girls and then it was blown all
• Out of proportion of people calling each other witches

THE CAUSE

• McCarthyism was started by senator McCarthy
• He started it to increase his campaign for senate

THE CONECTION

• Both the witch trials and
• McCarthyism where falsely
• Accused trials with a bipartisan
• For the "greater good"
