What are three similarities of the Salem Witch Trials to the Red Scare of the 1950s?
Both the Salem Witch Trials and the Red Scare of the 1950's were prompted by fear -- fear of being called out, fear of having to inform on others, fear of who was being arrested. The resulting hysteria was caused by this fear. In both the Salem Witch Trials and the Red Scare of the 1950's, informers were pardoned, while deneyers were arrested. Both the Salem Witch Trials and the Red Scare of the 1950's were caused by inaccurate information. There really were no witch trials, just like the majority of the people punished by the HUAC really weren't communists.

What are some similarities between the Salem witch trials and the Red Scare?
In the Salem Witch Trials, this was driven by a very influential and important man in 16th century who believe in witch craft, his name was Cotton Mather. He was a Minister in the Puritan Church. He believe that the Puritan church alone could purify the evil that existed and through the Witch Hunts in Salem, he used the trials to get rid of evil doers (people he claimed were witches). The first named witch that was executed was an old woman who complained a lot and no like her much, so it was easy to condemn her as being a witch. With the help of the afflicted children Cotton Mather did not actively participate, but he was an important man in the witch trials. His quest was to cleanse evil, as evil was blame for a lot of mishaps. While, Red Scare, under Joseph McCarthy, his quest was political, he accused a number of persons of being communist. America in 1919 was very sensitive about communist. Persons on the black list as Communist, lost a lot and were offered no way to get it back. These personstheater,politicians, persons in sensitive areas were called communists. so with the elimination of those person mcCarthy gained political mileage.
