The Second Red ScareThe Second Red Scare:
Fear of Communism was growing rapidly in the US after WWII
Reasons:Soviet Union stole
intelligence on how to build atomic bombs. Then they built and tested their own.
China: China was taken over by Communist leader Mao Zedong.
Now the population of Communists vs. Democracy was vastly disproportioned.

Response to Second Red Scare:The House of Representatives
created the “House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC)” which searched out Communists in America. Very radical organization. Could make
you lose your job, be deported, go to jail. 3 million people would be investigated
The Smith Act Made it a crime to call for the overthrow
of the US government or belong to an organization that did so
The McCarran Act Required Communist organizations to
register with the government

Joseph McCarthy A U.S. Senator who claimed he had a list of
people who were Communists working in the government. BTW: Never produced the list
Very popular with the American public, was considered America’s top “Communist Fighter”
McCarthyism: Developing and spreading fear of Communism by making baseless charges
He got too crazy for the Americans.
