The Second Red Scare The 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.
