  • The Salem Witch Trials and Mccarthyism: Parallels in Public Hysteria
    The Salem Witch Trials and McCarthyism: Parallels in Public Hysteria An ELA Performance Task Curriculum-Embedded The Salem Witch Trials and McCarthyism: Parallels in Public Hysteria Introductory Classroom Activity (30 minutes) Have students sit in small groups of about 4-5 people. Each group should have someone to record its discussion and someone who will report out orally for the group. Present on a projector the video clip of the documentary “He may be a communist.” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWeZ5SKXvj8) After watching the trailer once, ask each group recorder to create two columns on a piece of paper. In one column, the group will list techniques used in the clips to promote fear and distrust in the communist party; in the other column, the group will be asked to list positive images from the clip used to promote anti- communist fervor. To clarify this assignment, ask the following two questions: 1. What evidence do you see of strategies being used to create feelings of fear or discomfort about the communist party? (Possible responses: “physical appearance counts for nothing”—they could be anywhere among us; characters are shady sometimes (man in fedora), strident and borderline manic (woman giving speech); they work silently among us; loaded language like “red menace”; communists break into home of all- American family; recruitment of youth who are brainwashed automatons; fear of being reported to authorities.) 2. What elements were present showing that to be anti-communist is a sign of goodness and patriotism? (Possible responses: repeated use of American flag; references to God and country; Statue of Liberty; patriotic music playing under the marches (a contrast to the marches shown earlier in the reel of communist sympathizers); youth in uniform; father bravely attempting to protect his family, although powerless to stop communists.) Have the students watch the trailer one more time while keeping these questions in mind.

Rauh, Jr., a lawyer who fought for American civil liberties during a time when they were in great peril. Rauh challenged the federal government's loyalty- security program during the height of McCarthyism and the Red Scare through his representation of government employees and contractors that were faced with termination and humiliation due to allegationsof disloyalty. This Article recounts Rauh's efforts by examining his representation of James Kutcher, William Remington, and Charles Allen Taylor, three men who were accused of disloyalty to the United States under the federal government's loyalty-security program.

  • Reactions of Congress to the Alger Hiss Case, 1948-1960
    Soviet Spies and the Fear of Communism in America Reactions of Congress to the Alger Hiss Case, 1948-1960 Mémoire Brigitte Rainville Maîtrise en histoire Maître ès arts (M.A.) Québec, Canada © Brigitte Rainville, 2013 Résumé Le but de ce mémoire est de mettre en évidence la réaction des membres du Congrès des États-Unis dans le cadre de l'affaire Alger Hiss de 1948 à 1960. Selon notre source principale, le Congressional Record, nous avons pu faire ressortir les divergences d'opinions qui existaient entre les partisans des partis démocrate et républicain. En ce qui concerne les démocrates du Nord, nous avons établi leur tendance à nier le fait de l'infiltration soviétique dans le département d'État américain. De leur côté, les républicains ont profité du cas de Hiss pour démontrer l'incompétence du président Truman dans la gestion des affaires d'État. Il est intéressant de noter que, à la suite de l'avènement du républicain Dwight D. Eisenhower à la présidence en 1953, un changement marqué d'opinions quant à l'affaire Hiss s'opère ainsi que l'attitude des deux partis envers le communisme. Les démocrates, en fait, se mettent à accuser l'administration en place d'inaptitude dans l'éradication des espions et des communistes. En ayant recours à une stratégie similaire à celle utilisée par les républicains à l'époque Truman, ceux-ci n'entachent toutefois guère la réputation d'Eisenhower. Nous terminons en montrant que le nom d'Alger Hiss, vers la fin de la présidence Eisenhower, s'avère le symbole de la corruption soviétique et de l'espionnage durant cette période marquante de la Guerre Froide.

March 28, 195C To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives , This report contains the testimony, in public session, before the Commission on January 19, 1956, of Herbert A. Philbrick. It is submitted to your honorable bodies with the belief that it gives an accurate background of the man- ner and method of the Communist Party in recruiting, training and disciplining members into the Communist conspiracy in Massachusetts. The fact that Mr. Philbrick was of great assistance to his country as an undercover agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation is well known. His penetrating analysis to us of Communist Party purposes and activities, especially among the professional group, is a great aid to the study the Commission has been carrying on, and is a confirmation of much which the Commission has presented to you in its previous reports. In accordance with its practice, the Commission is not herewith reporting on other phases of Mr. Philbrick’s testi- money in executive session, which involved individuals who have not yet been given an opportunity to appear before it.

  • Mccarthyism and the Second Red Scare
    McCarthyism and the Second Red Scare Oxford Research Encyclopedia of American History McCarthyism and the Second Red Scare Landon R. Y. Storrs Subject: 20th Century: Post-1945, Political History, Cultural History, Labor and Working Class History Online Publication Date: Jul 2015 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780199329175.013.6 Summary and Keywords The second Red Scare refers to the fear of communism that permeated American politics, culture, and society from the late 1940s through the 1950s, during the opening phases of the Cold War with the Soviet Union. This episode of political repression lasted longer and was more pervasive than the Red Scare that followed the Bolshevik Revolution and World War I. Popularly known as “McCarthyism” after Senator Joseph McCarthy (R-Wisconsin), who made himself famous in 1950 by claiming that large numbers of Communists had infiltrated the U.S. State Department, the second Red Scare predated and outlasted McCarthy, and its machinery far exceeded the reach of a single maverick politician. Nonetheless, “McCarthyism” became the label for the tactic of undermining political opponents by making unsubstantiated attacks on their loyalty to the United States.

There are no discussion topics on this book yet. While serving a three-year prison term at the high-security Lewisburg prison, Remington was murdered by fellow prisoners; evidence suggested the murderers were motivated by anti-Communism, but authorities denied that. Ashley Poston made her name with Once Upon a Con, a contemporary series set in the world of fandom, and her two-part space opera, Heart of An unknown error has occurred. From an early age, he was drawn to radical leftist politics, and declared to his friends that he was a Communist when he was However, a number went on to become full-fledged party members, and many important American Communists received their basic indoctrination in the YCL.

He said I need not worry on that score. Before she agreed to wed William Remington she exacted a promise from him that he would continue to support the cause.

Chanler, visibly shaken when Crouch produced the Remington subscription card and told about the post-office box, asked to examine all the other cards that Crouch had in the shoe box-with a view toward showing that non-Communists as well as Communists subscribed to the Worker.

  • Bombs and Books an Introduction
    Bombs and Books An Introduction Boarding his plane in Germany in the spring of 1953, James Bryant Conant knew there might be trouble when he arrived in Washington. An aide handed him a note. He opened it to see the words “. Senator McCarthy. .” Ever since his speech at the Women’s Republican Club of Wheeling, West Virginia, in February 1950, the junior senator from Wisconsin was on a rampage. Other politicians had discovered that a strong, militant stance against communism pleased their constituents and supported their careers. By the time McCarthy made headlines, Hollywood screenwriters had been scrutinized by Congress for years. But McCarthy outdid his anticommunist colleagues by announcing that communism had infiltrated Washington itself. From then on, he held hearings, conducted investigations, intimidated enemies and colleagues alike, and ruined careers by calling citizens to Washington to ask, often under the heat of klieg lights, “Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Communist Party?” Being called before McCarthy’s committee, even mentioned by him or his staffers in the wrong way, could mean public and professional disgrace. Nobody liked suspected communists, and McCarthy made a career of exposing them. Conant himself had nothing to fear. His ideological credentials were sterling. He was a famous educator, the president of Harvard University, and a chemist who helped oversee the Manhattan Project that introduced the atomic bomb and the modern “atomic age” of scientific progress. The problem that lay ahead of Conant was not his politics, but those of his colleagues, his friends, and those who worked for him.

  • Manley Papers Collection #67
    G. ATWOOD MANLEY PAPERS COLLECTION #67 SCOPE AND CONTENTS The Atwood Manley Papers, covering the years 1856-1989, were donated to the university by the Manley family at the time of his death. They comprise 5.16 linear feet of correspondence, manuscripts, photographs, notes, and tapes relating to Manley’s interests. Manley wrote several books and articles on Canton-born artist Frederic Remington, so a large portion of the collection consists of correspondence, notes, and manuscripts related to Remington. Manley also wrote a history of the Stillwater Club and did research on other Canton topics, including the history of St. Lawrence University, of which he was a loyal alumnus. Notes for these articles also appear in the collection as well as the manuscripts of two autobiographical pieces. Finally, there are nineteen taped interviews with Manley in which he discourses on many aspects of Canton and St. Lawrence University history such as the county fair, Adirondack guides, Remington, Rushton canoes, the St. Lawrence Plaindealer, Owen D. Young, early college history, Ernest Robinson, the St. Lawrence Seaway, Richardson Hall, Irving Bacheller, Canton hotels, Canton churches, A. Barton Hepburn, the history of the St. Lawrence University Theological School, and Albert Crary. Manley’s life-long interest in his hometown and his alma mater make these papers extremely valuable for anyone doing research on Canton and St. Lawrence University history. BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Gilbert Atwood Manley, known by his middle name, was born in Canton on October 31, 1893. He attended St. Lawrence University, where he was a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity. In 1920 he was named St.
