McCarthy's downfall came in 1954 when he called out the U.S. Army. His lack of evidence and abusive tactics came out into the open and cost him many supporters. As he lost power, the effects of McCarthyism remained due to fear of having loyalty questioned. Even unions were less active in fighting for their causes. Many Americans became more suspicious, and investigations were very common. All in all, the fear of Communism entering American society was a huge factor and drive in both national and international politics for many years to come.

You should have a better intro sentence.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures really added to the story. Great job! The transition between sentences were really smooth, making it easier to read.
This post is very effective, it explains well McCarthy's strategy.
ReplyDeleteI think he acted in a very bad way, because in a period of crisis like the Cold War, people need to be supported, helped and not scared or driven to lose faith in the Government of the Army. At last, at the first good occasion, he was stopped.
Yeah these pictures help a lot. People should be supported and to not lose faith in the government.
