America's fear of communism from 1947-1953 was due to the increased political power of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union had a communist system in which Stalin abused his power and took away civil liberties from his citizens. After World War II, his power continued to increase as the Soviet Union was allied/had control over several different countries in Europe including Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, and Czechoslovakia. America was worried that this communist influence would continue to spread all over the world.

The fear of communism was not only present overseas, but also in America. During World War II there were Soviet spies in the US that gave information to the Soviet government. This, along with a small communist party in America, allowed for the development of McCarthyism. McCarthyism was essentially a witch hunt for any suspected communists. Anyone perceived as a communist threat could be called in front of Congress in the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).

Lincoln´s delivery of his second inauguration speech

Explanation:

We can affirm that the end of the Civil War came on April 9, 1965. The war had begun between the south and the north four years before, but the final point was tested on April 9 in the afternoon when General Robert Lee surrenders to Lieutenant-General Ulysses Grant on Appomattox. Although the battles continued for a few more months, this act is taken as the end date of the war.

MissTica
<span>Patrick Henry in his "Speech at the Convention of Virginia" says that all peaceful ways to negotiate with the British, have already been made, and were also useless, since they have already argued their rights, then they have protested, and the protests were harshly repressed, they have been prostrated before the British throne, and have even begged; but in response, the Colonists have been despised and insulted by the king. Therefore, Henry says in his famous speech, that the settlers can not abandon their struggle for their freedom; and although there are losses and sacrifices, they are for a greater cause. <span>That's when he calls the fight to all Americans.</span></span>
