McCarthyism, the Second Red Scare, and the Hollywood Ten

In this class, we'll be looking at the actions taken by Senator Joseph McCarthy and asking the question, "Was McCarthy justified in his assault against communism in the early 1950s?" Time permitting, we will also hold a brief debate on the decision of President Eisenhower to eventually speak out against Sen. McCarthy.
