Since the Crucible was written during the time of McCarthyism, the whole play is pretty much a metaphor for it. In the Crucible, people claim that there are witches and are posesed by the Devil. In McCarthyism, ramdom people were accused of being communists. If you didnt like someone all you had to do was lie and say they were communists. the same was true in the Crucible. one guy in the play, accusses someone of being a witch because he wanted his land. another accuses even the most nobel of citizens of being a witch. the play was designed to poke fun at McCarthyism and to show just how ridiculous it really was. by the end of the play the people begin to realize it has gone to far. this is the same as in McCarthyism, his "witch hunt" ended because people lost ffaith in what he was doing.

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.
