Miller's play is titled "The Crucible." Is not a factual history of the event, but a mangling of facts and theories about the trials to create an allegory to 1950s McCarthyism.
The Crucible of Iron Age Shetland was created in 2011.
Like many people involved in the events of the Salem witch trials of 1692, Martha Carrier wasn't a character in The Crucible. She was indeed charged with witchcraft and hanged for such, but Arthur Miller doesn't mention her in his play. I'm sorry; someone seems to have given you misinformation.
Do You mean the Crusades? Well The Salem witch Trials were mostly for liberal woman while the crusades target was anyone who didnt accept catolisism, mostly the Muslims. EDIT: They meant the play written about the Salem Witch Trials. I have to tell you that most of what is in the Crucible is a fabrication for the purpose of Miller's allegory. Most of it differs greatly from the actual events. The Crucible changed ages and combined characters into a single one.
This was a battle of the American Civil War so its place under "English History" is not really correct. The Union forces retreated after failing to take the bridge guarded by the Confederates under Brig Gen William Miller
