Be Careful Soviet Invasion American Communists

The goal of this task It’s easy for me to tell you why McCarthyism is wrong, or why it was bad, but that’s only half the story. I want you to look at it and answer a few key questions: What compelled people to follow McCarthy? Why did he receive so much power? Why were people who opposed him vilified and shunned?

Issues and Controversies
Research Tips Look up McCarthyism, become familiar with it Look up the House Committee on Un-American Activities HUAC…don’t ask Formulate an argument that aligns with McCarthy’s ideals, related to your topic. How would a McCarthy supporter view your topic?
