3. The Red Scare The term "Red Scare" was used during 1947-1957.

12. Conclusion Even though World War II ended, Americans had yet another challenge to overcome; the dissemination of Communism around the world. But the price paid in doing so, was too high: an internal climate of uncertainty were anybody could be accused of perjury or espionage, wars across the world in which not only thousands of lives where lost, but the country's motives where questioned, and so were America's well known values such as freedom of speech and thought. In its quest to preserve capitalism America turned into the very same thing it was trying to destroy; a world without freedom of thought and speech, overall, a repressive government.
