How are the Salem witch trails related to The Crucible by Arthur Miller?

The correct way to phrase the question is "How is the Crucible related to the Salem Witch Trials." More important and/or older event first. The Crucible is a play that mangles facts and theories about the trials to create an allegory to 1950s McCarthyism.


Why did arthur miller have a interest in Salem witch trails?

He probably didn't. To explain, his main objective was not to offer knowledge of an event, but to satirize the McCathyists' hunt for communist in Congress. The Salem panic fit his purpose. Also, the sheer number of inaccuracies about the trials in the play suggests he didn't care enough about the trials themselves to do much research.
