Understanding McCarthyism in the 1950s by Jake Yang is a document available to read on EtoBox.
McCarthyism was a period in the 1950s where Senator Joseph McCarthy led a campaign to expose suspected communists working in the U.S. government and other institutions. [1] McCarthyism lasted over a decade as McCarthy made claims of large numbers of communists influencing the government without providing clear evidence. [2] The communist party and suspected communists faced attacks and blacklisting, resulting in them being fired or jailed for refusing to cooperate with investigations. [3]
