The Crucible

Event 1

Apr 1, 1692

The story opens to Betty laying in her bed, not being able to move. With Rev. Parris at her side, Susanna tells that the doctor can not find any natural causes for her sickness. This is when the first thoughts of witch craft appear. Abigail is questioned on the time the girls had in the forest with Tituba. It is thought to believe that this is when the devil first comes to Salem.

McCarthy "Witch Hunts"

Period: Jan 1, 1950 to Dec 31, 1950

McCarthy The McCarthy "witch hunts" are not what they seem to be. This was a political stunt pulled by Senator Joe McCarthy to occuse communist political figures. By showing a list of 205 members names to the nearest camera, caused 400 Americans to be sent to jail without a fair trial, and thousands to loose their jobs.
