What role did abigail play in the Salem witch trials?

I like this question, if only because it proves my point that the Crucible has corrupted the public knowledge of the Salem trials. Ruth Putnam is a creation of Arthur Miller for his play. I figure that Ruth is actually Ann Putnam the younger and Miller renamed her to lessen the confusion of having two Ann Putnams, mother and daughter, in the dialogue.

How would the Salem witch trials connect to McCarthyism?

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.
