Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible as a result of the McCarthy hearings in the 1950's. He felt both era were times of hysteria and witchhunts. In both cases, people were accused without evidence and people were asked to name names.
Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible, a story of Puritan Settlers in Salem which was widely viewed as a lampoon of sorts on senator McCarthy's pursuit of communists. In The Crucible, people are judged by an incompetent who takes as true, the wild accusations of a group of adolescent girls.
Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible to explain to the US people about the tactics "if you're not with us your against us" of Senator McCarthy, who fostered a "witch hunt" against Americans who were communists. Americans were afraid of communism, which he represented as the witches in The Crucible. Miller thought that the audience might see their own times, their own fears and dilemmas reflected in the themes of the crucible.
The Crucible by Arthur Miller affects us today with many differents ideas, and societal factors. One idea to consider is the idea of scapegoats, where certain groups of people targeted for the actions of a few, and some groups of people are unfairly judged. But also being treated fairly by all. A last idea is the role of religion in society, what role, if any, should it play in creating law?

NO they both used scapegoats to blame other people for wrong doing.
Most people would say to start over again.
Arthur Miller thought about how people can be accused of things without proof. He compared the Salem Witch Trials to himself and others being accused of being communist traitors.

She's done something bad so people think she is bad and she does not have a good name
The main difference is that McCarthyism was a real political period in the United States when Senator McCarthy tried to scare the people that Communism was leaking into our government whereas The Crucible is a play about the Salem Witch trials.
The Crucible directly relates to the red scare in that a small group of people were able to accuse a larger group of innocents. Arthur Miller wrote the play in direct response to the hearings that were going on in Washington D.C.
