over 9000!!! ^yeah I don't think so, I am researching McCarthyism and the play by Arthur Miller, The Crucible, and somewhere along the way i saw that there were more than 320 people accused, of course this could just be the artists that were blacklisted. I will try to update this if i find a better answer
Why was The Crucible written?
it was written in response to McCarthyism during which he was accusing artists of being communist or knowing them. Miller felt these events were parallel to the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts. Arthur Miller, the author of The Crucible, was alive during the Red Scare. This was a time period in which people were accused of being or being friends with communists. If you were thought to be a communist, you were "blacklisted" This meant that the government kept a close eye on you. Arthur Miller was blacklisted. We don't know if he was a communist or not, but we do know that many people who were accused were not. He was angry that he had become blacklisted, so he wrote The Crucible. If you don't know what the Crucible is about, it is about the Salem Witch trials. During this time, people were being called witches. Basically, he wrote the play to say "Look, it has been hundreds of years, and our country has not advanced. People are still doing the same things that they did during the colonial period."
