In conclusion, history does not always repeat itself, however, it did in this case. The Salem witch trials and the McCarthy hearings are very similar and from very different times in history. They both involved many innocent victims who were accused of being something that they were not, and was also very horrendous and repulsive to be in the day and age in which they were living. A lot of people’s lives were ruined because of a couple of foolish girls and one selfish man. Their primary goal was to look good in front of others who did not really respect them; only wanting that respect at the cost of other people’s lives. Both trials were deceitful, misleading, and ultimately unreasonable to the people who were affected by it. Let us hope that history does not repeat itself again according to Salem witch-hunts and McCarthy hearings.

The Salem witch trials were not taken about in a fair way. None of the accused victims were given a fair trial. All of the proof that Abigail and the other girls had been so unreasonable yet very popularly believed. She claimed to have been stuck with a needle by Elizabeth, who did so by using a technique called voodoo. She also “saw” a bird flying in the air that never really was there. If the judge and the other authoritive adults had really seen what was going on and were not so blind to the truth which lied right in front of their eyes, then nothing would have happened to the victims who were made to look like witches. The people were so blinded about what they wanted to see and what was really there. Nothing interesting or exciting had ever gone on in the small town of Salem
