Answered by Ertorbeck | 2024-06-10

The U.S. government reacted to the Red Scare through aggressive measures to suppress perceived threats of communism, particularly through the Palmer Raids in the first wave (1917-1920) and the actions of Senator McCarthy in the second wave (1947-1957). These reactions involved arrests, deportations, loyalty oaths, and investigations into individuals' political affiliations. Such actions had a significant impact on civil liberties and public sentiments towards leftist ideologies.
