Mc Carthyism And The Red Scare
McCarthyism and the Red Scare led many Americans to fear communists during the Cold War era of tension with the Soviet Union. Senator Joseph McCarthy claimed that 205 communists worked in the state department without evidence, using bold tactics to accuse people like Charlie Chaplin and Samuel Mostel. While thousands were arrested in raids like the Palmer Raids, most were detained without trial and no communist revolution occurred as claimed. Eventually, the Red Scare was viewed as a hoax as the predicted revolution never materialized.
The Red Scare
The Red Scare refers to two periods of intense anti-communist sentiment in the United States in the 20th century. During World War I and again in the late 1940s through 1950s, there was widespread fear of communist infiltration of the US government. This led to investigations and persecution of suspected communists, such as Ethel and Julius Rosenberg who were executed for espionage, and Alger Hiss who was accused of being a communist spy. The government implemented loyalty programs and acts restricting immigration to crack down on communist threats during the Cold War era.
Second Red Scare - Cold War II
The document summarizes the Second Red Scare period in the United States during the Cold War from 1945-1953. It describes how fears of communism grew due to the Soviet Union developing nuclear weapons and the rise of Communist China. The House Un-American Activities Committee investigated suspected communists within the US and the Hollywood Ten were arrested. Laws like the Smith Act and McCarran Act restricted communist activities and travel. Senator Joseph McCarthy falsely accused many Americans of being communists, fueling further fears through "McCarthyism" until his tactics became too extreme and he lost public support.
The red scare
The document discusses the Second Red Scare that occurred in the United States from 1947 to 1957. During this period, hysteria grew over the perceived threat of communism as tensions increased between the US and Soviet Union in the early stages of the Cold War. This led the US government to investigate people for signs of communist sympathies, including federal employees and those in the film industry. Notable figures like Senator Joseph McCarthy made unsubstantiated accusations of communist influence. The climate of fear surrounding communism began to ease by the late 1950s.
McCarthyism
Senator Joseph McCarthy led a witch hunt in the 1950s accusing many Americans of being communists. He targeted government workers like John Service and Hollywood figures. McCarthy's accusations grew unreasonable over time as he attacked even the U.S. Army without proof. Public opinion turned against McCarthy and the Senate condemned his actions, marking the end of the McCarthy era.

McCarthyism & The Crucible
Joseph McCarthy was a U.S. senator in the early 1950s who led a controversial campaign against supposed Communist infiltration of the U.S. government. He accused many people of being Communists without providing evidence. This period became known as McCarthyism. Arthur Miller wrote the play The Crucible in 1953 as an allegory for McCarthyism, depicting the Salem witch trials as a metaphor for the anti-communist hysteria and investigations. The play was a critique of the tactics used during the McCarthy era like interrogations and accusations without proof.
McCarthyism
During the McCarthy Era of the 1950s in America, Senator Joseph McCarthy exploited fears about communism for political gain. He claimed to have a list of government employees who were communists and launched accusations with little evidence. McCarthyism led to widespread paranoia where Americans were denounced as communist sympathizers. It influenced society through restrictions on education, censorship of media, and promotion of pro-American ideals. McCarthy's accusations eventually lost credibility and he was censured after televised hearings showed his bullying behavior, marking the end of the McCarthy Era.

Joseph McCarthy sparked the era of McCarthyism in the 1950s through accusations of communist infiltration without evidence. He claimed to have a list of 205 known communists working for the US government. The public became paranoid and thousands lost their jobs or were imprisoned due to mere suspicions. McCarthy's accusations corrupted society and allowed him to target people in the government, entertainment industry, education, and unions.

A Biography of Joseph McCarthy
Joseph Raymond McCarthy was an American politician who climbed the political ladder to become a U.S. Senator from 1947 until his death in 1957. A politician following World War II and the fall of the Iron Curtain, he capitalized on the mass hysteria by claiming that there were a significant number of “Commies” in the U.S. government. This mass hysteria and the actions that followed suit became known as McCarthyism. He gained a significant amount of power during this period, with a large number of politicians fearful of being accused of Communist sympathies if they were to stand against him. These claims were largely unsubstantiated, and ultimately led him to be censured by the United States Senate. Some of the hysteria and actions resulted in discrimination, assault, harassment and a slew of other charges that were ultimately dismissed due to the fear of being called a Communist sympathizer. Joseph McCarthy was an effective politician who despite his perceived reputation had several vices and did not hesitate to use every advantage possible. Evidence of scare tactics that were commonplace during this time is still evident in the present political realm from immigration and terrorism. Due to the high amount of paranoia in regards to how pervasive potential Communists were in the United States, people were in constant fear.
Joseph McCarthy was born on November 14th, 1908 in Grand Chute, Wisconsin. His father was born in America with a mix of both Irish and German, while his mother had emigrated from Ireland. He attended school until he dropped out at the age of 14 to help with his parent’s farm. After becoming bored with farm work, he started his own chicken business but was quickly bankrupted due to a disease that killed his flock. With no money at the age of 20, he became the manager of a grocery store where he returned to graduate from high school at the age of 20 within nine months. Due to his excellent grades McCarthy was able to spend the next 5 years earning a law degree from Marquette University in 1935. During his time at the university, “he coached boxing, and was elected president of his law school class, all while working a series of part-time jobs.” (Reeves) Following his graduation, he was immediately admitted to the bar that same year, and created his own firm to practice law. Quickly after, he moved and became a partner at a firm in Shawano, Wisconsin. While working for the law firm, he engaged in illicit gambling on the side, as a way to subsidize his income. In 1936, he began his run for district attorney in Shawano, Wisconsin as a Democrat, losing to the incumbent. This loss changed his perspective and had changed his strategy. In 1939 he ran for 10th District circuit judge as a nonpartisan and won, securing his first political office.
His opponent was the incumbent judge who had served for over 24 years. His method of running for office at that time wa ...
Truman-Red Scare

It then discusses various investigations and laws passed during this period, including the HUAC investigating "unAmerican" activities, the Smith Act arresting communists, and the McCarran Internal Security Bill allowing detention of "suspicious" people, foreshadowing the Patriot Act.

Powerpoint for McCarthyismness
Joseph McCarthy sparked an era of fear and paranoia known as McCarthyism through accusations of Communist infiltration without evidence. Thousands lost jobs and reputations due to McCarthy's claims. Both McCarthyism and the Salem Witch Trials show how easily words can influence society and corrupt humanity, as accusations alone were enough for people to be punished despite lack of proof.
The Cold War at Home
Two key factors that contributed to the "witch hunts" of the 1950s in the US were the fear of communism stemming from Soviet domination in Eastern Europe and the communist takeover in China. This led to investigations by the House Un-American Activities Committee and Senator Joseph McCarthy's accusations of communist infiltration in the US government. Many people were blacklisted or imprisoned due to being accused of communist sympathies, including the Hollywood 10, Alger Hiss who was convicted of perjury, and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg who were executed for spying. McCarthyism led to irrational intolerance before McCarthy's downfall for bullying tactics.
