McCarthyism is the term used to describe the
period of time in the 1950s when Senator
Joseph McCarthy, a U.S. senator from
Wisconsin, claimed that communists had
infiltrated the Department of State.
A special House Committee on Un-American
Activities was formed to investigate
allegations of communism.
During this period, people from all walks of
life became the subjects of aggressive “witch
hunts” often based on inconclusive,
questionable evidence.
Arthur Miller was one of them. He wrote The
Crucible as a response to this period of
history.
