During the Cold War era in the United States, fear of communism and communist influence led to widespread investigations and blacklisting. President Truman established the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1947 to investigate communist influence. The HUAC interrogated citizens, including Hollywood figures, about their political views and ties. Those who refused to testify or were named as communists, like the Hollywood Ten, were blacklisted from working in the film industry. Senator Joseph McCarthy further exacerbated tensions by accusing government employees and others of being communists without providing evidence, until his accusations were eventually discredited.

The document discusses how Hollywood has portrayed lawyers in films over several decades from the 1960s to the 2000s. Lawyers are often depicted using emotional appeals and courtroom tricks to sway jurors rather than focusing on facts and truth. Several mainstream films from the 1960s are mentioned that featured political themes. The 1970s saw more paranoid and cynical films produced in response to the political climate. Patriotic films increased in popularity during the 1980s. Science fiction films dealing with technology and surveillance became popular in the 1990s.

Authors Salena Zito and Brad Todd traveled over 27,000 miles interviewing more than 300 Trump voters across 10 swing counties.

Death penalty
The document discusses arguments for and against the death penalty in the United States. It notes that the US is one of few countries that still uses capital punishment and executes more people than nations like China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. Arguments against the death penalty include that it is applied arbitrarily and in a racially discriminatory manner, amounts to cruel and unusual punishment, and violates international human rights laws. The document also discusses the high financial costs of the death penalty compared to life imprisonment without parole.
Transcript (death penaty debate)
Stephen Markman acknowledges that the possibility of executing an innocent person is the strongest argument against the death penalty. However, he argues that many institutions in society carry the risk of tragic errors. While no statistics prove an innocent person has been executed in the US this century, the system must assume it is possible. Markman believes the death penalty ultimately saves more lives than are lost from accidental executions, as alternatives like life imprisonment have led to more deaths from prisoner escapes and violence. Therefore, the deterrent effect of capital punishment has outweighed the risks and saved thousands of lives.
Minorities
Racism has caused immense harm throughout history. More than 62 million people have died due to racism in the last 100 years. Slavery brought over 12 million people from Africa to the Americas, with 650,000 brought to what is now the United States. While racism will likely always exist, small actions like refraining from racist jokes can help address it.

Progressivism under taft
President Taft belonged to the Republican party. He busted over a dozen trusts during his presidency, which made him popular among some groups. However, the Payne-Aldrich Tariff and actions taken by Richard Ballinger upset Progressives and contributed to a split between conservative and Progressive Republicans in 1910. This led to the Republicans losing control of the House of Representatives.

Skills and methods
Three potential sources of information about a candidate for school board are described, with a televised debate being the least likely to be biased. Firsthand knowledge from letters written during a time period would provide more credible information about what life was like then versus a recent history book. The Congressional Budget Office would have the appropriate qualifications to credibly analyze the potential effects of a proposed tax cut on the national debt.
Watergate Scandal
The Watergate Scandal led to the downfall of President Richard Nixon after the burglary of the Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate building was linked to his administration. Journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein uncovered a vast cover-up within Nixon's White House and administration through their reporting in the Washington Post. This eroded public trust in the presidency and political system. Facing almost certain impeachment, Nixon became the first US president to resign from office in 1974. The scandal marked a turning point in how Americans viewed their government and politicians.
Watergate Scandal
The Watergate scandal refers to a 1970s political scandal that ultimately led to Richard Nixon's resignation from the presidency. It began with the arrest of five men for breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters, and widened to reveal extensive illegal activities and abuses authorized by Nixon's staff, including campaign sabotage, illegal wiretapping, and a secret slush fund. Nixon and his staff conspired to cover up the break-in, but mounting evidence, including recordings from Nixon's secret taping system, revealed that Nixon had obstructed justice. Facing impeachment and possible conviction, Nixon resigned in 1974.
Richard Milhous Nixon
Richard Nixon served as the 37th President of the United States from 1969 to 1974. His presidency was marred by the Watergate scandal, which involved burglary of the Democratic National Committee headquarters and subsequent cover-up. Facing near-certain impeachment and removal from office, Nixon resigned in August 1974. He was succeeded by Vice President Gerald Ford, who pardoned Nixon for any crimes he may have committed while in office, in an effort to help the country heal and move forward. Nixon's presidency accomplished some foreign policy successes but was ultimately overshadowed by the Watergate scandal and associated abuses of power.

V: Watergate
The Watergate break-in and subsequent cover-up led to Richard Nixon's resignation from the presidency in 1974, making Gerald Ford the first "accidental president." This damaged trust in politicians and influenced Jimmy Carter's election in 1976 as an outsider promising reform. In the long term, Watergate caused closer scrutiny of executive actions and labeled all political scandals with the "-gate" suffix, changing expectations of transparency and accountability.
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.
Day 4 Red Scare Cold War
There was a fear of communism infiltrating the US government during the 1950s Red Scare era. Senator Joseph McCarthy exploited this fear by claiming to have a list of 205 communists working for the state department, though he provided no evidence. His hearings devolved into a witch hunt targeting many on false accusations. McCarthy's tactics were eventually condemned when he began threatening the Army, leading to a Senate vote to censure him in 1954.
Day 4 red scare.cold war
The document discusses the Red Scare period of the 1950s in the United States. It describes how fears of communist subversion and infiltration led to investigations by the House Un-American Activities Committee. Notable examples included investigations into the film industry that blacklisted the "Hollywood Ten" and Senator Joseph McCarthy's accusations of communists in the government without clear evidence. The period saw intensified fears of communism and efforts to root out perceived communist threats that some argue went too far.
A nation divided
The document discusses the social and political divisions in the United States during the 1960s over the Vietnam War and military draft. It notes that African Americans disproportionately served in Vietnam compared to other groups. Large youth-led protest movements emerged calling for an end to the war, with over 100,000 people attending one protest in New York's Central Park. Those opposed to the war and draft fled to Canada to avoid conscription.
A failure of perspective moral assumptions and genocide
This book review summarizes Samantha Power's book "A Problem from Hell": America and the Age of Genocide. The book examines the consistent non-response of American leaders to genocide throughout the 20th century. Power argues this is due to a "failure of imagination" - that genocide is so horrific that leaders and the public choose to look away rather than confront it. However, the book review argues the reasons are more fundamental - stemming from failures in the Anglo-American legal system's moral perspective. This legal system is based on an "ethic of justice" that focuses on individual rights and self-interest over responsibilities to prevent mass violence and protect others. The review will explore how an "ethic of care" perspective
Nixon and the watergate scandal
The Watergate Scandal involved the 1972 break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington D.C. by burglars associated with President Richard Nixon's re-election committee. Two Washington Post reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, uncovered evidence that the break-in and subsequent cover-up reached senior levels of the White House. The scandal grew to involve issues of abuse of power, obstruction of justice, and political espionage. It led to the resignations of several Nixon administration officials and ultimately, the resignation of President Nixon in 1974, the only U.S. president to resign from office.
The Cold War at Home
As Cold War tensions rose, the United States experienced a period known as the Red Scare where there was widespread fear that communists were infiltrating American society. This led President Truman and the House of Representatives to take aggressive actions to investigate and crack down on suspected communist activities and influences within the government, education system, media, and other institutions. Figures like Joseph McCarthy exploited these fears by falsely accusing Americans of being communist sympathizers, destroying careers and civil liberties through tactics known as McCarthyism until his downfall.

Section 30 1 moving toward conflict
The document outlines the increasing US involvement in Vietnam from supporting France's colonial rule in the 1940s-50s to defending South Vietnam from communism in the 1960s. It describes how the US backed France's reoccupation of Vietnam after WWII. The Vietminh resisted and gained control of North Vietnam by 1954 while the US-supported South was established. Attempts to reunify the country through elections failed, fueling the Vietcong insurgency in the South. As the South's government weakened in the early 1960s, the US role expanded under presidents Kennedy and Johnson through bombing campaigns and greater military commitment.
The right stuff!
This document discusses different skills and subjects that are important for learning and success, including how to learn effectively, the value of liberal arts in making connections across disciplines, and how passion and curiosity are more important than raw intelligence alone.

It asks multiple choice questions about these topics, such as why Truman decided to use atomic bombs against Japan, where the first bomb was detonated, how many people died as a result of both bombs, and where Japan surrendered.
World war 2
After invading Poland in 1939, Germany next invaded France. The Germans used a new rapid military tactic called "Blitzkrieg" or lightning war in Poland. The USSR and Germany signed a non-aggression pact agreeing not to attack each other. In 1940, over 400,000 British and French soldiers were evacuated from Dunkirk back to Britain. The Battle of Britain primarily involved aircraft. Besides Germany, the USSR also invaded Poland in 1939 according to the terms of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact signed by Germany and the USSR.
China
Mao Zedong led China from 1949 until his death in 1976 and instituted communist rule. During his rule, he started the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution to modernize China's economy and remove capitalist influences. However, a lack of modern technology hampered China's growth. In the 1970s, Deng Xiaoping implemented market-based reforms and the "Four Modernizations" of industry, agriculture, science and technology, and national defense to open China to foreign trade and investment. This led to rapid economic growth and rising living standards, though it also increased inequality. The Chinese government's violent crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square in 1989 drew international criticism. In 1997, Great
Collapse of the soviet union
The collapse of the Soviet Union began under Mikhail Gorbachev in the late 1980s with policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring). This led to unrest in Soviet republics and nationalist movements. Lithuania was the first republic to declare independence from the Soviet Union in 1990, which the Soviet Union attempted to suppress by attacking the Lithuanian capital. An attempted coup by communist hardliners against Gorbachev failed in 1991. This weakened the Soviet Union further and led to the independence of the remaining republics, effectively dissolving the Soviet Union.
End of the cold war
The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 marked the end of the Cold War and collapse of communist authoritarian rule in Eastern Europe. The dismantling of the Berlin Wall allowed pent up energies to be unleashed in former Soviet bloc countries as democratic governments and free market systems spread. This seismic event liberated the people who had been living under Soviet communist rule and domination.
America as a world power
America emerged as a world power in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It gained overseas territories and influence after defeating Spain in the Spanish-American War of 1898. The US also played a larger role in international affairs, such as negotiating the end of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905. This period saw the beginning of America's rise to become a global superpower in the 20th century.
Imperialism and america
Imperialism and America discusses reasons for US imperialism in the late 19th century. Key reasons included the thirst for new markets to address overproduction and the belief in social Darwinism that nations should compete in the global free market. The US competed for influence especially in Asia, notably China and Korea. One influential text was Alfred Thayer Mahan's book on sea power. The US purchased Alaska from Russia for $7.2 million and overthrew the Hawaiian government led by Sanford Dole to annex the islands, partly due to sugar plantation owners' desires.
Women in public life 2
The document discusses women's roles and status in American society before the 19th century. Before the Civil War, most women were expected to marry and take care of families, as few had opportunities for jobs or education. By the late 19th century, options began expanding as college became a possibility in addition to marriage. The majority of working women in the 1870s held jobs as servants or farm laborers. Key events like the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire drew attention to the need for workplace and voting rights reforms.
Introduction to prog
The Progressive Movement aimed to address issues created by industrialization and urbanization in the late 19th century. Reformers sought to protect social welfare, create economic reform, and foster efficiency. The Social Gospel Movement attempted to help the poor through community centers and churches. Some Progressives embraced socialism to improve conditions for factory workers. Muckrakers like Robert La Follette wrote about corruption in politics and business. City bosses often rewarded political supporters with jobs and kickbacks. The Keating-Owen Act of 1916 prohibited child labor. Before the 17th Amendment, state legislatures chose US Senators.
Introduction to ancient rome
Rome and Carthage competed for influence in the Mediterranean, leading to three Punic Wars between the two powers. The First Punic War began as a local conflict in Sicily but resulted in Rome gaining control over Sicily and extracting money from Carthage. Hannibal later invaded Italy by crossing the Alps during the Second Punic War, defeating Roman armies at Cannae, but was unable to take Rome. Rome ultimately defeated Carthage at Zama. Nearly 50 years later, the Third Punic War ended with Rome destroying Carthage to eliminate it as a rival in the Mediterranean.
Dead civilizations
The document provides multiple choice questions about ancient civilizations including the Minoans, Hittites, Phoenicians, Sumerians, and Babylonians. It asks which civilization worshipped bulls (Minoans), was located in modern-day Turkey (Hittites), was not located in Mesopotamia (Minoans), existed first (Sumerians), used early iron weapons (Hittites), was not a collection of city-states (Phoenicians), was known for seafaring (Phoenicians), was known for dye making (Phoenicians), and made a purple dye associated with royalty (Phoenicians).
Changing way of life
The document discusses the major social changes in the United States during the 1920s as the country transitioned from a rural to urban society. It describes how prohibition led to clashes between traditional rural values and new secular urban cultures. Prohibition failed to stop alcohol consumption and instead empowered organized crime which fought over control of the illegal alcohol trade. By the mid-1920s, prohibition had little support and was repealed in 1933 with the 21st amendment. The 1920s was also a period of conflict between science and religion exemplified by the Scopes Monkey Trial over the teaching of evolution in schools.
The decline of the roman empire
The document discusses various multiple choice questions related to the decline of the Roman Empire:
1. The last of the "Five Good Emperors" was Marcus Aurelius.
2. The group that did NOT disrupt trade in the Roman Empire was the Roman Senate.
3. The drastic drop in the value of money is called inflation.
4. Poor Roman farmers abandoned their lands due to poor weather and increased use of large estates called latifundia.
5. The Romans increasingly used mercenaries to fight in the Roman army.
6. The thing Diocletian did NOT do was draft prisoners of war.
