Answer:

The Plague of Fear

Explanation:

The McCarthy's Communist hunts were part of the period called the Red Scare this was a time of prejudice and fear among the people of the United States of America saying the Communism was going to sweep the nation taking away their freedom and Democracy. McCarthy's hunts were done to "help make sure that communism is dealt with". McCarthy at the time held great power being in the Senate and held many unconstitutional trails to suspected Communist supporters/ spies for the "Communist Nation"/ Russia. And now we know that these acts we unjustified. Right after 9/11 we now come to repeat these actions acting on fear instead of justice. The Patriot Act, enacted after 9/11 allowed US agencies to search homes and initiate investigations without a warrant similar to the trials and investigations held during the Red Scare. After 9/11 we targeted and blamed Al-Qaeda and therefore initiated the War on Terrorism and invaded Afghanistan, but not to put down the organization that struck the United States instead they attack the Taliban. This war would continue even to this day fighting multiple organizations throughout the Middle East. This also became soon a fight less about 9/11 and more about fossil fuels and even today the US uses this as an excuse to continue and fight this war. So in the end America ends up only hurting itself in these situations violating our rights to protect our rights. The only real difference between these eras is the fact that we didn't use guns and bombs to get our way in the Red Scare that's why it's called a Cold War.

Answer:

Explanation:

The Quarantine Speech was given by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt on October 5, 1937 in Chicago (on the occasion of the dedication of the bridge between north and south outer Lake Shore Drive), calling for an international "quarantine" against the "epidemic of world lawlessness" by aggressive nations as an alternative to the political climate of American neutrality and non-intervention that was prevalent at the time. The speech intensified America's isolationist mood, causing protest by non-interventionists and foes to intervene. No countries were directly mentioned in the speech, although it was interpreted as referring to the Empire of Japan, the Kingdom of Italy, and Nazi Germany.[1] Roosevelt suggested the use of economic pressure, a forceful response, but less direct than outright aggression.

Public response to the speech was mixed. Famed cartoonist Percy Crosby, creator of Skippy (comic strip) and very outspoken Roosevelt critic, bought a two-page advertisement in the New York Sun to attack it.[2] In addition, it was heavily criticized by Hearst-owned newspapers and Robert R. McCormick of the Chicago Tribune, but several subsequent compendia of editorials showed overall approval in US media.[3]
