it is former confederate solider
Answer:
American society faced many hardships when political opponents were turned anti-nationalist using the communist tag during the Cold war era.
Explanation:
The second Red Scare refers to the period in the history of the United States when fear of communism had penetrated the society during the early periods of the Cold War. House Un-American Activities Committee, the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, and McCarthy's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations were key congressional investigative committees. Those committee leaders and their employees collaborated with the FBI to recognize and prosecute suspected communists.
McCarthy was a young Wisconsin senator who stunned the nation in 1950 when he alleged to have information that large numbers of communists managed to hold prominent positions in the State Department. He and other Republicans would use these arguments for the next two years to pressure out the Truman administration, and the anti-communist agenda played a key factor for their landslide win in the 1952 election. However, no evident proof soon made him a liability for his party, and his influence started to fade away.
