I assume you mean the first one?
yes @highjump06
@highjump06 I had gone off for a little while. Sorry
Np. Okay so the First Red Scare happened just after the US entered WW1. First of all, the Red Scare was the fear that communism would spread through the country. People began to get scared of the Germans, and more importantly at that point, the Bolsheviks in Russia. A big factor was the Germans and going into WW1 against them, but the Russian government being taken over by communism really put people's fears of widespread communism into overdrive. Communism really went against everything that Americans had worked for centuries to earn; freedom and our capitalism.
There ya go :) Long version of it. You can shorten it if you want
