Effect of the red scare & McCarthyism in the U.S.

The second red scare stared in 1947 and was related in the growing fear of communist and many panicked and accused innocent people of being communist. Civil rights were tested and found to be insignificant during a time of crisis. One effect that McCarthyism did in the U.S.A. was that he had the power to put the people in jail, also he can take jobs away from the people, the reason of that was just because the people are anticommunist or they look like that.

  1. When was the first red scare?

    Seems like McCarthy had alot of power? Do you think something like the Red Scare could ever happen again? Is it happening now?

    I think you need to include more information.
