The Second Red Scare Although the presence of the Communist Party in America faded rapidly after World War II, concerns about espionage and communist sympathizers were on the rise. How could politicians use the Red Scare for their own advancement? Republicans? Claimed FDR and Democrats had communist ties. Democrats? Claimed Republicans were linked to Fascism and Hitler. In 1947: President Truman signs an executive order dubbed the “Loyalty Order”. Granted the Attorney General the right to list Fascist, Communist, and other “subversive organizations”… Of the 13m workers it applied to… 14,000 lost their jobs between 1947 and 1953.

QUESTIONS. Who was targeted during the First Red Scare? When did the United States go through the First Red Scare?

The Second Red Scare Was this fear logical? “At the height of WWII, about 80,000 Americans claimed membership in the Communist Party.” How would the United States respond? Congressman Martin Dies (TX-D) forms the Dies Committee in Becomes the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) in 1945.

The Second Red Scare What industry in the US has access to millions of customers through multimedia? Why Hollywood? Most denied ties to communism when interview by HUAC… but ten members of Hollywood refused to participate.

The Hollywood Ten Does HUAC violate any constitutional amendments in their questioning? The Hollywood Ten “cited First Amendment free speech protection…” HUAC cited them for contempt and the Supreme Court sentenced all to jail time.

The Second Red Scare Impact of HUAC on the United States? 1. The Blacklist 2. Witch hunts of common people 3. Alger Hiss Case 4. The Rosenberg Case

The Alger Hiss Case The Korean War and advancements in nuclear weaponry by the Soviets promoted the rapid spread of anti-communist sentiment in the United States… 1948: Whittaker Chambers accuses Alger Hiss of being part of a Communist group in Washington DC. Hiss Chambers Chambers? A confessed former Communist and TIME magazine editor Hiss? Clerk to Justice Oliver Wendall Holmes Assistant Counsel to the Nye Committee Member of the State Department Went to Yalta with FDR Oversaw the creation of the UN President of the Carnegie Endowment

The Alger Hiss Case What made this case gain national attention? Hiss wasn’t a spy, in the words of Chambers, he was an infiltrator. Two days after the accusation by Chambers, Hiss appeared before HUAC and read his opening statement: “I am not and never have been a member for the Communist Party. I do not and never have adhered to the tenets of the Communist Party. I am not and never have been a member of any Communist-front organization… to the best of my knowledge, I never heard of Whittaker Chambers until 1947, when two representatives from the FBI asked me if I knew him and various other people. I said that I did not know Chambers. So far as I know, I have never laid eyes on him, and the statesmen made about me by Mr. Chambers are complete fabrications.”

The Alger Hiss Case After questioning both Chambers and Hiss, Nixon realized it was close to impossible to prove Hiss was a member of the Communist Party. First: Nixon questions Chambers.

The Alger Hiss Case Next: Nixon showed Hiss a photo of Chambers and questioned him.

The Alger Hiss Case Finally: Chambers feared he would be charged with perjury… Outcome? Alger Hiss sentence to jail for perjury

The Rosenberg Case The Rosenberg Case (1:40)

The Witch-Hunt - McCarthyism West Virginia in 1950: Senator Joseph McCarthy (WI-R) states the State Department is infested with communists. Claims that he knows of 205 known members of the Communist Party.
