The Red Scare was an intense fear of communism. The fear of communism was growing more in the United States after numerous countries were being taken over by the Soviet Union. This occurred during the late 1940s and early 1950s. One main cause for the red scare was the Anti-communism in America, and with all the immigrants coming into America at the time people weren't sure if they were apart of communism or not. One of the effects of the Red Scare was that majority of Socialists were barred from holding office. Another effect due to the Red Scare was that A. Mitchell Palmer led the government's anti-communist campaign know as the Palmer Raids. Many immigrants were sent back to their home land due to the Red Scare.
