Salem Witch Trials and McCarthyism have something very in common. The fact that they both accused innocent people of doing things that were "bad" at the time. Another thing in common was the desire to punish and ostracize people whose habits disrupted convention.

Salem Witch Trials is a story about the prosecution of men and women as a consequence of performing witchcraft acts.
