Jake,  I see some good organization with your color coordination and individual boxes to address the required components.  However, you are lacking the cited evidence in each of these boxes to give you full credit  for the body paragraph section.

I am not entirely clear on a few of the points you are making in your introduction and you need. Please  proofread it to clarify what you presenting to your reader

Also, McCarthyism seems like it has some place in this essay, yet I only see him mentioned in your conclusion...Perhaps include him in your first body paragraph as you establish how bad anti-communism movement actually was

Please check my comments

The way the United States reacted to overly communism was out of control. Not everyone agreed with the idea of anti communism or how it was being acted out. If one publicly said that they didn't like how things were done then could then also be labeled as a communist or sympathizer. The way people called out their neighbors as a communist just because they didn't like them did more hurt then good. When students at a college tried to argue that robin hood was not communistic they were then called communists them selves. Thought eventually people did change their mind about McCarthy and communism it still hurt the country as a whole.

When people tried to stand up for their ideals it often backfired on them

Prior to and during the cold war there was communistic hatred that spread through the country. People and groups were called out for being a communistic because they made a comment that was slightly socialistic. At its peak musicians artist and even government employees were denied work if they were though to be associated with communism. American citizen feared communism because it was so agents everything they stood for and because of that they wanted to eliminate any traces of it they could find. Communism meant the end of American ways there was money, property, or religion. The end of all those things scared Americans and they didn't like that the other world power with nuclear warheads was a communist country. There were lots of people who unjustly labeled a communist and could do nothing about it. As a whole the country called out its own citizens as being communist working for the Soviet Union, which was often not the case. The reaction to communism affected almost every citizen of the united states. A lot of people were swept up by how popularized it was, but not everyone agreed with it.

Whereas each employee of the Government of the United States is endowed with a measure of trusteeship over the democratic processes which are the heart and sinew of the United States; and

Whereas it is of vital importance that persons employed in the Federal service be of complete and unswerving loyalty to the United States; and

Whereas, although the loyalty of by far the overwhelming majority of all Government employees is beyond question, the presence within the Government service of any disloyal or subversive person constitutes a threat to our democratic processes; and

Whereas maximum protection must be afforded the United States against infiltration of disloyal persons into the ranks of its employees, and equal protection from unfounded accusations of disloyalty must be afforded the loyal employees of the Government:

Now, Therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and statutes of the United States, including the Civil Service Act of 1883 (22 Stat. 403), as amended, and section 9A of the act approved August 2, 1939 (18 U.S.C. 61i), and as President and Chief Executive of the United States, it is hereby, in the interest of the internal management of the Government, ordered as follows:
PART I-INVESTIGATION OF APPLICANTS

1. There shall be a loyalty investigation of every person entering the civilian employment of any department or agency of the executive branch of the Federal Government.

1. Investigations of persons entering the competitive service shall be conducted by the Civil Service Commission, except in such cases as are covered by a special agreement between the Commission and any given department or agency.

2. Investigations of persons other than those entering the competitive service shall be conducted by the employing department or agency. Departments and agencies without investigative organizations shall utilize the investigative facilities of the Civil Service Commission.

2. The investigations of persons entering the employ of the executive branch may be conducted after any such person enters upon actual employment therein, but in any such case the appointment of such person shall be conditioned upon a favorable determination with respect to his loyalty.
Investigations of persons entering the competitive service shall be conducted as expeditiously as possible; provided, however, that if any such investigation is not completed within 18 months from the date on which a person enters actual employment, the condition that his employment is subject to investigation shall expire, except in a case in which the Civil Service Commission has made an initial adjudication of disloyalty and the case continues to be active by reason of an appeal, and it shall then be the responsibility of the employing department or agency to conclude such investigation and make a final determination concerning the loyalty of such person.

3. An investigation shall be made of all applicants at all available pertinent sources of information and shall include reference to:

1. Federal Bureau of Investigation files.

2. Civil Service Commission files.

3. Military and naval intelligence files.

2. The officer or employee shall be served with a written notice of such hearing in sufficient time, and shall be informed therein of the nature of the charges against him in sufficient detail, so that he will be enabled to prepare his defense.

4. The rights of hearing, notice thereof, and appeal therefrom shall be accorded to every officer or employee prior to his removal on grounds of disloyalty, irrespective of tenure, or of manner, method, or nature of appointment, but the head of the employing department or agency may suspend any officer or employee at any time pending a determination with respect to loyalty.

2. Notwithstanding the foregoing requirement, however, the investigative agency may refuse to disclose the names of confidential informants, provided it furnishes sufficient information about such informants on the basis of which the requesting department or agency can make an adequate evaluation of the information furnished by them, and provided it advises the requesting department or agency in writing that it is essential to the protection of the informants or to the investigation of other cases that the identity of the informants not be revealed. Investigative agencies shall not use this discretion to decline to reveal sources of information where such action is not essential.

PART VI-MISCELLANEOUS

1. Each department and agency of the executive branch, to the extent that it has not already done so, shall submit, to the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the Department of Justice, either directly or through the Civil Service Commission, the names (and such other necessary identifying material as the Federal Bureau of Investigation may require) of all of its incumbent employees.

1. The Federal Bureau of Investigation shall check such names against its records of persons concerning whom there is substantial evidence of being within the purview of paragraph 2 of Part V hereof, and shall notify each department and agency of such information.

In 1954, as the FBI was investigating the alleged spread of communism in the United States, 64% of Americans told Gallup they "would feel pretty sure" FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover "[had] most of the American communists under [the FBI's] eye."

If J. Edgar Hoover were to say that the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) has most of the American communists under its eye, would you feel pretty sure it was true, or wouldn't you?

Hoover was the highly popular head of the FBI in this era, having been the leader of the nation's top police agency since 1924. Five months before this survey, 78% told Gallup they had a favorable opinion of the director, with only 2% having an unfavorable opinion.

Hoover was a passionate anti-communist who established programs relying on wiretaps, surveillance and the infiltration of left-wing groups to fight the so-called Red Scare. Under Hoover, FBI agents helped build the case against Americans Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. The two were convicted of espionage in 1951 and were executed in 1953.

By 1954, the FBI had arrested more suspected American communists, at the same time U.S. Rep. Joseph McCarthy was nationally known for having chaired hearings in the House of Representatives investigating alleged communists in government. In later years, Hoover wiretapped Martin Luther King Jr. on the unfounded suspicion that the civil rights leader was an American communist.

Hoover's obsession with perceived American communism continued unabated until he died in office in 1972. Americans were positive about Hoover right to the end, with about three-quarters in 1971 rating the job he had done as excellent (41%) or good (33%), another 10% calling it fair, and just 7% poor or bad.
