How did McCarthy influence American politics? Did he make it better or worse?

History
1 answer:
likoan [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Okay this is controversial, so I'll give you the answer that public schools want. McCarthy launched witch hunt trials against supposed communists during the heat of the Cold War. Many of those individuals were vindicated (it was decided they were innocent). The media, for obvious reasons, aimed its attention towards the matter, making McCarthy a household name. Hence, by this understanding, he made it worse by spreading lies and fear during a vulnerable time.

<u>However,</u> what they don't teach you in school is that McCarthy got his list of suspects from FBI agents that were too afraid to run with the case. Furthermore, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, many, if not all, of the people tried were in fact proven to be communists. So, it's up to you I guess.

Why were more Americans able to buy homes after World War II?
borishaifa [10]
More Americans were able to buy homes after the WWII because of the purchasing power of the American Dollar. In order for the country to experience a drastic economic change, it had to change its policies about taxes, cost of living, and personal wages of its people. So during that time period, people had a lot of money and decided to change their old ways of living in the city and moving into the suburbs to buy a lot and build their own houses there. They found that life was more peaceful and quaint as compared to the city life that's why there was a boom in suburban life after the WW.
