Throughout world war 1 communism was not there yet as it would be soon caused by fear.Early in 1919, Congress began pressuring the justice department  to take action against radicals.

The first Red scare followed the Bolshevik revolution in Russia in November 1917, and lasted until 1920. The second was preoccupied with imagining the existence of national or foreign communist infiltration and of subversions to U.S. society. In the first Red Scare, political scientist, and former member of the Communist Party Murray B. Levin wrote that the Red Scare was "a nationwide anti-radical hysteria provoked by a mounting fear and anxiety that a Bolshevik revolution in America was imminent—a revolution that would change Church, home, marriage, civility, and the American way of Life." When the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) backed several labor strikes in 1916 and 1917, the press portrayed them as "radical threats to American society.” In April 1919, authorities discovered a plot for mailing 36 bombs to prominent members of the U.S. political and economic establishments. In the second, McCarthyism coincided with increased popular fear of communist espionage. Many events in the late 1940s and early 1950s, influenced popular opinion about U.S. National Security. It connected to fear of the Soviet Union hydrogen-bombing the United States, and fear of the Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA).]]> 2017-11-09 22:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/99040792/3ovfnj8om6zg/wish/205528974 99040792 https://padlet.com/99040792/3ovfnj8om6zg/wish/206580911 McCarthyism is the practice of making accusations of disloyalty, especially of pro-Communist activity, in many instances unsupported by proof or based on slight, doubtful, or irrelevant evidence.
