1 answer

Here's how the labels match the witch hunts:

  • Targeted political outsiders: Red scare
  • Both: Salem witch trials (while primarily focused on social and religious outsiders, it did also involve political elements)
  • Red scare: This specifically targeted individuals perceived as communists or communist sympathizers, often for political reasons.
  • Salem witch trials: Primarily focused on individuals accused of witchcraft, many of whom were outsiders in their community.

So the matching would be:

  • Targeted political outsiders - Red scare
  • Both - Salem witch trials
