"McCarthyism refers to the fear and terror in the early 1950s when senator Joseph McCarthy tried to rid the United States of the communistic thread he thought existed at that time. This lead to guilt by association and the blacklisting of innocent people in the entertainment field."
I learned this, verbatmin, 10 years ago in high school and never forgot it for some reason. |
