Ingraham felt this broken system had been pushing women onto the street and into prostitution. The paper tried to place moral pressure on men, urging them to stay away from prostitutes and refrain from seeking their services. The American Female Moral Reform Society also ran "safe houses" for women who had just moved to New York. These safe houses offered shelter and training for "respectable" employment to women who had just moved to New York.

Women, in the eyes of the colonists, manifested their evil inclination by bonding to the devil and becoming witches while men served Satan by committing bestiality. In his article “Things Fearful to Name: Bestiality in Colonial America,” John Murrin reveals to us that women were rarely if ever convicted of bestiality or homosexuality, and so not executed for it. We see that a black man caught in the act of bestiality by two girls and their mother was found guilty by a court but agreed to hear a petition from some freeholders and many women asking that he receive no punishment at all. While the court considered this—for three months—the man in question escaped from prison and was never seen again. We also see that bestiality was punished much less harshly than the child sexual assault by the Quakers of Burlington, West Jersey.
Suffragists’ Storm Over Washington By: William and Mary Lavender In Suffragists’ Storm Over Washington by William and Mary Lavender, six well-bred women stood before a judge in the Washington, D.C., for their alleged offense: 'obstructing traffic. What they actually did was stand quietly outside the White House carrying banners urging President Woodrow Wilson to support their decades-long struggle to add one sentence to the Constitution: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. The judge declared the ladies guilty as charged, and imposed a $25 fine or three days' imprisonment on each. Those six made a bit of history that day.

In the 1950's, however, people were terrified of the red Communists coming to take over their beloved country. Senator McCarthy was the one taking out other people in the govornment that he suspected to be a communist via inprisonment. The witch trials and McCarthyism started differently as well, for one started with a group of young girls' voodoo practice and the other started when senator McCarthy was trying to win an election and took advantage of the peoples feelings toward the "Red scare." A lot of the evil things McCarthyism did were private and behind closed govornment doors. During the Salem Witch Trials the accused people were forced to make a public confession and be killed in front of their family and friends.
It seems to be that history almost repeats itself. This was also known as McCarthyism. McCarthyism was named after Joseph McCarthy who was a Senator of Wisconsin. Joseph McCarthy thought that the Communist Party of the United States was gaining too much power, so anyone who supported the communist or was suspected to have relations with the communist was thrown in jail. In “The Crucible”, the girls accused people of being witches just to make themselves look better to others to gain respect.
