In both cases, a topic that brought fear to the people at the time (in Salem, the witches or Satan. In Post WW2 America, communism) was used to drive hysteria and persecute innocent people. In both cases, victims were forced to confess and name others who would also be persecuted. In Salem, many lives were lost and during McCarthyism, many lives were ruined.
Historical evidence suggests he moved there somewhere around 1831
McCarthyism started after WWII in the 50's, when communism started.
What important events happened at this time
Yes.
McCarthyism started in the United States during the era time frame of 1950 to 1956. A time frame that is sometimes called the Second Red Scare.
Mccarthyism
McCarthyism is a mob mentality driven by fear, often a fear of something nonexistent. So the Salem witch trials is a great example of McCarthyism, for the people of colonial Massachusetts were driven by mob mentality and fear.
Salem Witch Trials had to do with a group of girls accusing women for witch craft, while in McCarthyism a man accused people for being communist.
they are during much different time periods. Mccarthyism took place during the 1940s, and the Salem witch trials took place in the 1640's.

First, I must point out that the correct phrasing is 'how would McCarthyism connect to the Salem Witch trials" as the Salem panic occurred earlier. That being said, there is no direct connection. Nothing that happened in Salem affected or influenced McCarthyism. However, they are often associated because of Arthur Miller's Crucible, a play extremely loosely based on the events Salem. Miller wrote the play using the most general facts about Salem to juxtapose the two in order to show the similarities between the ridiculous nature of the Salem accusations and the McCarthyist accusations.
