Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible, he compared the 20th Century "hunt for communists" to that of the Salem Witch Trials.

They are easy to compare to McCarthyism and Miller was trying to make a point about McCarthyism. The Trials are also different enough that he could not get in trouble for writing about them to write about a senator.

The Arthur Miller trial refers to the 1956 hearings of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), where playwright Arthur Miller was summoned to testify about his alleged communist affiliations. Miller famously refused to name names of others who might have been involved with the Communist Party, asserting his belief in artistic and personal integrity. His experience during the hearings inspired his play "The Crucible," which draws parallels between the Salem witch trials and the McCarthy era's anti-communist hysteria. The trial highlighted the tension between individual rights and societal pressures during a time of political paranoia in the United States.
He wants RESPECT since he is the minister of Salem.
This took place in Salem 1692
That would be "The Crucible". Written in 1953 by Arthur Miller.
Arthur Miller thought about how people can be accused of things without proof. He compared the Salem Witch Trials to himself and others being accused of being communist traitors.
The Crucible by Arthur Miller is a play based on the actual events that, in 1692, led to the Salem Witch Trials, a series of hearings before local magistrates to prosecute over 150 people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusettes between February 1692 and May 1693.
