Presentations
Fear of Communist- Many Americans were concerned for the safety of the US
The House Un-American Activities Committee- communist were sneaking propaganda into films
HUAC were friendly but hearings were un-constitutional
Black List- if you were communist you would be on this list and people would come after you, it was a bad thing! You would not get jobs ect..
Cuban Missile Crisis- Argument between Cuba and the US
Due to the Bay of Pigs invasion, this was the closest we have come to a nuclear war
Soviet Union was helping Cuba
The US wanted to quarantine Cuba- almost like a blockade but couldn’t call it that
Had nuclear war heads in turkey pointed to the Soviets
After Cuba removes their war heads the US removed theirs
US promised to never invade Cuba
Joe McCarthy-short temper, good speaker, he claimed the communist were taking over the gov’t. McCarthy accused people to be communist. McCarthyism-attacking on people who were suspected to be communist!
*Note to self!
