-The Red Scare refers to two distinct periods of strong anti-communism. There was a vast fear that communism would upset the capitalist social order in the US. The first Scare was about a worker revolution and radicalism. The second Scare was focused on communists penetrating the federal government.
-The Red Scare was just like the witch trials because it instilled fear in all the people in the nation or everyone being affected by it.
