J Edgar Hoover used the political views of government workers against them.

Hoover, who was the head of the FBI, greatly feared communist influence with the American government. This is why Hoover used his power to spy on workers in the government to learn more about their political beliefs.

Along with this, Hoover encouraged people like Joe McCarthy to pursue suspected communists by putting them on trial in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee. This congressional body called in people from all walks of life to question their political views and ties to the Soviet Union. All of the aforementioned actions helped to increase the paranoia during the Second Red Scare.

What led to the rapid spread of Christianity?​
raketka [301]

Answer:

In this excerpt from Kennedy's 1963 Civil Rights Address what idea is being most clearly defined?
tekilochka [14]
<span>The answer is the second option. Kennedy was wary not to remove the South, set apart by considerable isolation and racial segregation, by encroaching upon States' rights. In any case, Kennedy's position on social liberties had started to advance amid the Freedom Rides of 1961, amid which African-Americans went along isolated transport courses in the South.</span>

Which of the following Most contributed to the postwar baby boom?
lianna [129]

Answer: G.I. Bill

Explanation:

Baby boomers is a term for people born between 1946 and 1964 all over the world. Baby boomers represent<em> a special generation </em>in that they were the first generation raised to form positive expectations that the world is going to improve and recover from the war. Those children lived in better circumstances and grew up into wealthy individuals.

G.I. Bill, also known as <em>The Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944</em>, provided various benefits for World War II veterans. The benefits included offering low-interest mortgages and covering education expenses. Logically, as the veterans were given these benefits, they opted for having children more easily. This is the main reason why more babies were born during this period than during the years that preceded G.I. Bill.
