This is a rough shorthand essay on the similarities about the Red Scare & the Post 9/11 American attitude towards people of Arabic descent and just religious Muslims in General. With the Red Scare, it was Communism and with 9/11 it was Muslims and basically all Middle Easterners.

They say lightning does not strike the same place twice, the First and Second Red Scare would be an exception. The First and Second Red Scare had an impact on how Americans would live their lives for years to come. One would argue that the that the first Red Scare had a greater impact on how Americans lived, but obviously it was the Second Red Scare; main reasons that the second Red Scare had a greater impact is the fact that spies had infiltrated American security stealing designs for nuclear weapons, this also proved American National security to be flawed, and Americans believed the Soviets would try to forcefully spread communism around the globe. The second Red Scare impacted how Americans lived dramatically during that age because it

Abraham Lincoln has said, “Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.” Frederick Douglass was an escaped slave who firsthand experienced the atrocities of slavery. Within an excerpt from “What, to the Slave, Is the Fourth of July?,” Frederick Douglass employs syntax, juxtaposition, and imagery in order to demonstrate the irony around the celebration of freedom on the Fourth of July. Douglass illustrates his purpose by displaying this irony because during the celebration of freedom by the white men, there are still a myriad of slaves who have yet to receive emancipation.

Saving Private Ryan will always be remembered among the best war movies ever made. It does what every prodigious war movie should, it takes a realistic look at war and shows us the horrific side of war intelligently. The plot is marvelously original; eight men are sent behind enemy lines to rescue one soldier, Private Ryan (Matt Damon). Ryan is the only remaining son in his family; his three brothers have all died in action recently. Gen. George Marshall is so touched by Mrs. Ryan’s dilemma, who unfortunately learns of the deaths of her three sons on the same day, and orders that her only remaining heir, Ryan, be returned home immediately. The holdup to the plan is that Ryan parachuted into Normandy on D-Day, and the Army has no idea where Ryan is or if he is

Red Scare as it is known is used to describe a time that had dealt with extreme anti-communism in the United States. Red comes from the color of the communists flag color of the soviet union. Scare simply comes from the fact that many people were scared that communism would come to the United States. Communism, which was commonly feared by most U.S. citizens is a system of social and economic organization in which property is owned by the state or group, to be shared in common or to be distributed among members of the community equally or in proportion to their respective needs. In 1919, 1/10 of the American population consisting of adults belonged to the new Communist movement, and even this small percentage was greatly affected.

The 11th Memorial March for Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women in Montreal took place on October 4th, 2016 at Place Émilie-Gamelin (Berri-UQAM metro). The march was organized by Missing Justice, Quebec Native Women and the Centre for Gender Advocacy to honour the memories of murdered and missing indigenous girls and women, and to raise awareness about the way in which systemic violence is fostered by governments, media, the legal system, police forces, and the education system, along with demanding that the national inquiry bring real systemic change.

The Red Scare of 1920 was that a lot of people thought that communism was going to spread to other countries. The Red Scare of 1920 was caused by many different things, but some of the major things that caused it were the assassination of the US president McKinley in 1901, many bombings such as the Wall Street bombing, and the communists overthrew the Russian Royal Family when the Russian revolution occurred which made everyone think that it was going to spread. Almost everyone in the US thought that the communists were going to take over since there were about 150,000 anarchists in the US alone.

The significance of these triads is the United State’s post-war fear towards immigrants. The Red Scare was a postwar hysteria fed by labor strikes, bomb scares, and the fear of Germans. During the time of race riots and labor strikes, home made mail bombs being sent to the homes of popular or important people were becoming a familiar fear to the public. The postal service attempted to intercept them all, but a few bombs slipped through killing people and destroying houses. This caused the fear of immigration to rapidly increase throughout the United States. In June, 1919, Attorney General Mitchell Palmer, after having the front of his home blown up earlier that month, alongside the Justice Department begin to deport radical aliens. Thousands

3 – 3. Many historians feel that Harry Truman as much as Joe McCarthy gave force to the postwar “Red Scare.” Explain why you agree or disagree.“In 1950, fewer than 50,000 Americans out of a total US population of 150 million were members of the Communist Party” (Wall). Yet, in the 1940's and 1950's, an anti-Communist movement swept the country. Political leaders feared communist had infiltrated government, and some even claimed proof that confidential government documents were given away to communist countries. In response to the hysteria, Senator Joseph McCarthy helped intensify the movement and many had their lives turned inside out and ruined. Similarly, President Truman issued an executive order to flush out government employees spying for the USSR. While Senator McCarthy’s hearings as chair of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations and President Truman’s Federal Employees Loyalty Program added to

The Red Scare of 1919-1920 was an across the country apprehension of communists, communists, revolutionaries, and all people who were different in some way. The September 11th terrorist assault that occurred in 2001 in New York City, Manhattan, Arlington County and Virginia was a composed of synchronized terrorist assaults by an Islamic terrorist team. Both periods have many parallels. Both had coordinated attacks and similar responses from the government and the people.

The Cold War begun when the United States tried to use it’s power to proclaim a new global order based on democracy and capitalism(Schultz,2014). The Soviet Union rejected the American world order, instead favoring communism and a world revolution in the name of the worker. The Civil Rights Movement reflected the influence of the Cold War, by minorities achieving significant breakthroughs. Workgroups and social groups both accepted minorities, which was highly unlikely from two decades previously. Civil rights groups pushed for rights of their own ,which was inspired by the Cold War. They were even allowed to participate in sports and the United States Military.

On the morning of September 11, 2001 life as we know it in America changed forever. 19 men from a Muslim extremist organization known as al-Qaeda hijacked four airplanes with the intent of killing thousands of Americans. Three of the four airplanes hit their targets, the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, the last plane was crashed into a field in rural Pennsylvania after the passengers tried to regain control. These attacks killed almost 3,000 people, injured over 6,000 others, and caused at least $10 billion in infrastructure and property damage. The man behind these attacks was a Saudi Arabian man named Osama bin Laden. These attacks caused mass panic throughout the world, but it also increased patriotism throughout the United States. It also is what got us into the Global War on Terror.

The American Revolution is underway, and fiery Jake Mallery wants freedom from tyranny-the tyranny of his strict father, that is. Jake doesn’t care about fighting for liberty.

But his father insists that Jake remain at home on the Connecticut coast, tending the family’s ferry and joining the local militia in case the town is attacked. Which, Jake knows, will never happen. He’s destined to a life of boring chores, militia drills, and verbal sparring with Hannah, the insufferable indentured servant of his best friend Tim’s family. But on July 4,1779, Jake’s world is turned upside down. The British are coming, and they mean to suppress the patriot rebellion by any means necessary. The brutal Battle of New Haven sets off a series of horrific events that will shatter Jake’s life. And only when he has lost his own freedom does he begin to

Do you ever have one of those moments in your life in which you will never forget where you were? I remember waking up early on September 11, 2001, getting ready for school and my dad telling me hurry up to watch the news with him. Being in 8th grade at the time, the news really wasn’t something I would watch in the mornings so I knew it had to be something important. Then I saw it. An airplane crashing into a tower, people panicking, and mayhem ensuing in a city very well known to me. When any tragic event like 9/11 occurs, the effect it will have on a nation is tremendous. It left America in shock, anger, and sadness just to name a few adjectives to describe the insurmountable amount of feelings that we felt on that day.
