i wanna say its ...The U.S. experienced a second Red Scare in the 1950,s during the Cold War after Senator Joseph McCarthy began using anti-communist rhetoric to accuse his political opponents of treason. Hoover, still director of the FBI, used his bureau to help investigate communist threats. Ultimately, many people would lose their jobs after being wrongfully accused of communism, and many, including a significant number of Hollywood actors and writers, were put on blacklists. McCarthyism declined after a public and judicial backlash in the late 1950,s. Anticommunist fears, however, remained prevalent across the U.S.
not a 100% sure hope this helped
