The Second Red Scare and McCarthyism: America’s Cold War Tensions Unveiled

The Second Red Scare in the United States mirrored the First Red Scare, fueled by Cold War anxieties in the 1950s. The Eisenhower administration initiated stringent policies, such as Executive Order 9835, allowing the FBI to investigate federal employees for security risks, while local governments enforced loyalty oaths. Hollywood faced intense scrutiny from HUAC, leading to the blacklisting of the "Hollywood Ten." Senator McCarthy's relentless witch hunts targeted alleged communists, resulting in public hysteria and political fallout, culminating in his censure in 1954. Discover this turbulent period in American history.
