Answer:

The Red Scare of the late 1940s and the 1950s was the fear that communists in important positions in American society were working for the enemy.

Explanation:

The Second Red Scare was also known as McCarthyism. It lasted from 1950 to 1957 and was characterized by a marked political repression to the communists, as well as by a campaign of fear of their influence in the American institutions and the espionage by agents of the Soviet Union. Originally coined to describe the anti-communist patrol sponsored by Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin, the term soon took on a broader meaning, being used today to describe the excess of similar initiatives. It is also used to describe reckless and unsubstantiated accusations as well as demagogic attacks on the character or sense of patriotism of political opponents.

During McCarthyism, thousands of Americans were accused of being Communists or sympathizers and became objects of aggressive investigations. The main target of the suspects were civil officers, entertainment industry workers, educators and trade unionists.

American militia fighting on their own soil was arguably the largest technical factor in them winning the war. Americans knew the land they fought on, and therefore knew the best routes to take for supplies, troop movements, and where the British may have been hiding. American militias hired <em>frontiersmen</em>, men who had grown up in the woods and knew how to hunt and travel in them, to fight on their side of the war. This allowed for a huge advantage over the British in the ground battles of the war.

Americans also had something that the British did not: patriotism. The Americans knew that, if they did not win the war, they would have to go back to living under the unfair British rule, if they did not die that is. Americans were able to use this spirit to fight their war harder than the British did.

Americans did not fight England's war. They disregarded the European ideas of a gentleman's war and fought, as the British considered them, dirty. The Americans shot and killed commanding officers, shot and killed their horses, attacked at night and during meal and tea times, and other war strategies that went against how the British had been taught to fight their whole life. This gave Americans a large edge over the British in individual battles.
