Joseph McCarthy and The Red Scare
“Fire” by Herb Block
In the aftermath of World War II, Americans reacted with dismay as relations between the United States and the Soviet Union deteriorated, the Russians imposed communist control over much of Eastern Europe, and China was on the verge of going communist. People worried that communists might try to subvert schools, labor unions, and other institutions. Government agencies and private groups began to look for evidence of subversive activity. In this climate of fear and suspicion, the House Committee on Un-American Activities, which Herb Block had opposed since its inception in the 1930s, became active. Herb Block recognized the danger to civil liberties posed by such activities and warned of them in his work.
The First Red Took place Late 1910’s and early Scare 1920’s Reaction to: - Russian Revolution (1917) Late 1910’s and early - Labor unrest/strikes in the US 1920’s - The Palmer Raids - Anti-Immigrant hysteria (xenophobia) After Palmer was discredited, the first Red Scare died down.
