People died unfairly in both. :(
its the same event no difference
No. How could a town founded 60 years after the trials ended have had them? The Salem Witch Trials took place in Salem, Massachusetts.
The salem witch trials had salem freaked out which is kinda the same for the terror we have here in the US
Both involved fear of something or someone inflitrating a community. In Salem, it was witches. McCarthysts believed that there were communists and soviet spies in the US Congress.
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 majority of people in Essex County were of the same class, so gossip spread easily and gossip about the "witches" brought hysteria with it.
There is no relation between the Salem Witch Trials and same gender marriage. No comparison really other than two controversial issues in the history of the US. During the Salem Witch Trials, a number of people were wrongly accused of criminal behavior. All were imprisoned. Some died, one as a result of interogation techniques used during that time. As relates to same gender marriages, a group of people are attempting to gain national legal recognition for an area of domestic contract law. It is not a criminal act in the US to marry one of the same gender, and no one has been imprisoned here for attempting to do so. It simply is not recognized. During the Salem witch trials, it was mostly the poorer, rural population who engaged in agriculture that supported the use of "spectral evidence" as sufficient to convict someone of witchcraft. The more affluent, city population who were involved in commerce and trading were less likely to support the witch trials and lobbied for them to come to an end. With respect to the legalization of same-sex marriage in the United States, we again see a dichotomy along similar lines.
In the 21st century, we do not have the same superstitious fear (or at least, not nearly as much superstitious fear) of witches that people had in 17th century Salem, but on the other hand, paranoia still exists, although our fears are different.
they are the same broseph get a life i hate you :'( jk i love you <3 ;) read the book and use an amazing new invention called GOOGLE TROLOLOLO >:O
We don't know the exact order in which they died, but it would have been Rebbecca Nurse, Sarah Goode, Susannah Martin, Elizabeth Howe or Sarah Wildes, who were all executed on the same day.
> The Salem Witch Tours and Attractions in Salem, MA are the best! It is a mix of history and horror all at the same time. > There are lots of great Halloween events in Massachusetts, but I think the best are probably in Salem. They have great haunted tours and the witch museum is always fun.
Some of those living today, claiming they are, are. Some of those living today, claiming they are, are not. Most of those accused in the past were not. Some of those accused in the past, were. EDIT: In the sense that they were Pagans or Wiccans, none of the accused were witches. In the sense that they tried to use "dark magic" to reek colonial-farming and shipping town level havoc, there's about the same chance of a natural patch of ice in the Sahara desert.
