Salem Witch Trials

Ignorance coupled with Zealousness. Ignorance breeds fear and hate that escalates to horrendous deed. Zealousness makes man an unthinking animal. God gave us brain and it would be an insult to HIM if we do not use it.

Assuming you are referring to the Salem witch trials of 1692... No. Nineteen of the convicted, 14 women and 5 men, were executed by hanging.

They ended in May, 1693.

There were multiple judges during the trials. Nathaniel Hawthorne's great-great-grandfather was one of them, a man by the name of John Hathorne.

Salzburg witch trials happened in 1675.

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.

Senator Joseph McCarthy claimed that he had knowledge of Communist infiltration in the United States State Department. He held Senate hearings and not only accused people of being communists but of working to help the communists infiltrate the government. He ruined many careers with his accusations. When he attacked the Army, the government and the public had enough. He was finally censured in the U.S. Senate. McCarthyism became a catch-word to indicate a "witch hunt."

It depends on which theory of how the affliction was caused you're working with.

Social and economic differences are most prominent in the Village-Town feud theory. Most accusers came from the poorer farming Village. Most accused came from the richer, shipping-based Town. And tensions and jealousy between them caused the girls to lie about Town-people for revenge of a sort.

The Red Scare

Combined, twenty-four people died via execution or died while in prison. Two dogs were killed by townsfolk that believed they were witches' familiars.

Nothing. HUAC was not involved in the "witch hunt" McCarthy hearings (the ones compared the the Salem trials), which were performed by a different government committee.

1. Only 14 women were hanged. The other 5 were MEN.

2. There were many judges that also did the juries job. They include Jonathon Corwin, Bartholomew Gedney and Nathaniel Saltonstall

They weren't. In fact the whole thing was a mass hysteria about nothing.

There are far more than two causes to that debacle. Two causes, as you asked for, are King Philips War and a smallpox epidemic.

There's this social theory called 'Salem Factionalism.' It describes the tension resulting from the agriculture and religion based Salem Village to the capitalist commercial Salem Town.

The first event was the founding of the colony by deeply religious Protestants. That set the stage for the fear of witches to spread to the religion-controlled government of Massachusetts and, thus, legal arrests of the accused. In 1688, the king of England was overthrown when it appeared his Catholic son and not his Protestant daughter would succeed. A single Catholic king heading the Anglican church was livable, but an entire line of them was a serious threat. New Englanders took it as an excuse for an overthrow of John Andre, the disliked governor. Of course, England didn't think it was alright and took away the Massachusetts charter. Increase Mather, the most famous, beloved and capable minister in Massachusetts, went to England to get a new one. Add Indian attacks and a smallpox epidemic to the charter loss and Massachusetts seemed to a religious colony as falling out of "God's favor." With the only minister who could talk them out of it gone, the people searched for an explanation that wouldn't involve their own actions. When some form of illness or acting came to Salem, it was the excuse they didn't conscientiously realize they wanted and jumped on the chance, leading to a witch hunt.

Animals were not accused of witchcraft. The animals seen around accused witches were assumed to be spirits known as "familiars" that were used to keep the "witch" in direct contact with the "devil".
