I'm working on a history discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
One of the main jobs of historians is to interpret the past by reviewing primary documents, scholarly secondary sources, and then creating an analysis of this research. After reading your text and reviewing the assigned materials, submit an analysis of the response of politicians and the U.S. government to communism.
You might want to consider the following questions, but you are not limited to them: Why were Americans concerned there might be Soviet spies in the United States? How did McCarthy respond? Did President Eisenhower support McCarthy’s actions? What led to McCarthy’s downfall? The release of the Venona Papers in the 1990s revealed that there were, in fact, communist spies who had infiltrated the U.S. government, did this vindicate McCarthy?
