American History I
American History I students are discussing the cold war and will be taking the semester test this week. EXTRA CREDIT: What major events about American History during the cold war are you most interested and why?
I am interested in what reasons Joe McCarthy had for being so paranoid about communist infiltration into the United States. The red scare is fascinating to me because it caused mass hysteria in the public mind about how horrible communism is, and it was due to government propaganda. "Dr. Strangelove" is a great movie that makes fun of the irrational fear Americans had towards communism during the cold war. Anyone interested in the subject should watch this movie. SETH STREET
