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.

What economic relationship did the American Colonies have with England?
iragen [17]

Answer:

c. A Captive Market

Explanation:

A captive market can be defined as a type of market in which the consumers or potential customers are only able to buy (purchase) what is made available to them due to the limited number of competitive suppliers (wholesalers or suppliers) in the market.

This ultimately implies that, in a captive market, the choice of the consumers is very limited and as such they can only buy goods or services that are made available by the supplier. Therefore, a captive market is characterized by oligopoly or monopoly and as a result of this, the price of goods and services are generally higher with minimal choice for the consumers.

Hence, the economic relationship the American Colonies had with England is known as a captive market.

In the 16th century, the American Colonies was typically a captive market for Great Britain as a raw materials such as lumber, rice, fish, or tobacco in exchange for sugar and slaves.

Kaylis [27]
The short answer is: "to a great extent". The entire plan of the Federalists was to create a strong central government instead of having many autonomous states. Of course this occasionally went against national unity in the sense that some people were opposed to this plan, but in general they favored unity.
