Red Scare Fear of communist revolutions and nuclear war Rise of communist gov’ts in Europe 1949- fall of China to communists 1949- USSR develops an Atomic bomb 1951- Rosenbergs convicted of being spies reinforced fears

Red Scare 1950- 1954- HUAC/ McCarthy Hearings Loyalty Review Board Investigate govt employees, esp in State Dept. Hunt down communist enemies Spreads beyond the govt Leads to more fear and craziness

Red Scare The Crucible Repent and accuse others Informers with grievances level charges of treason against prominent citizens Many were charged/ imprisoned/ and blacklisted due to alleged communist ties Hollywood 10- refuse to cooperate and sent to prison Giles Cory

Red Scare End of McCarthyism: Disrespectful language to bully others into not speaking out against him Televised hearings lost his public support Public accusations of communist ties with no substantial evidence– oops! Made accusations against the US Army discredited

Red Scare Results: Didn’t get a single confirmed communist Paralyzed politics Helped impose the idea of conformity Limited freedom of expression
