A. The Red Scare

Communists were associated with the color red because of the red flag of the Soviet Union -- thus the "Red Scare." One manifestation of the Red Scare was how people's privacy was invaded. Accusations about communists and communist sympathizers were aimed at all sorts of people.  Many people in the Hollywood film industry were targeted during that time, for instance.  But defenders of freedom (including film and television people) fought back against that.  Those who aimed to protect the rights and liberties of each individual saw the Red Scare tactics as "witch hunts," where we suspect our neighbors of evil for no good reason.

Speaking of "witch hunts," the playwright Arthur Miller wrote a really powerful play in 1953, during the Cold War, which focused on the Salem witch trials. He was making the point that what was happening in the Red Scare (hunting for communists) was another manifestation of the witch-burning craze that had happened at a previous time in history.

- Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire​
lara [203]

Answer:

On March 25, 1911, the Triangle Shirtwaist Company factory in New York City burned, killing 145 workers. The deaths were largely preventable–most of the victims died as a result of neglected safety features and locked doors within the factory building. The tragedy brought widespread attention to the dangerous sweatshop conditions of factories, and led to the development of a series of laws and regulations that better protected the safety of workers.

Which of the following best describes the United States when Herbert Hoover took office?
Dimas [21]

The correct answer is economically prosperous.

When Hoover was sworn into the presidency on March 4, 1929, the US economy was booming. The increased amount of credit made available by banks and other institutions allowed Americans to spend money on goods they would not have been able to pay for in the early part of the 1900's. However, 6 months after he took the presidency over, the US Stock Market Crashed and helped to spark the Great Depression.
