How did differences in ideologies and the fear of communism
lead to the Red Scare? Our nation has always been an anti-communist nation,
ever since people immigrated into our country in the very beginning they were
trying to get away from a very dominating government. Theses governments weren’t
all communist but most had many communistic traits. So when we hear about
communistic events happening it somewhat scares the people in our country
because we have learned that we want no part in that type of government system.
Nothing
was scaring the American citizens until our government officials were being put
on trial due to beliefs of them being communists. As soon as these allegations
took place people didn’t know if they could trust their senators or
representatives in congress. It ultimately “scared” them and they had no one to
look to for help or to answer questions because they were all being said to be
soviet communistic followers. This did not help us when it came to trying to
end the cold war between us and the soviets. All these allegations made ending
this war a very difficult task.
