Question

What was the “Red Scare” of the 1950s, and what were its effects in Oklahoma?

Answer 1

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: During the Cold War, Americans lived in constant fear of nuclear attack and the infiltration of Communist agents from the Soviet Union. Congress was determined to root out communists and communist sympathizers in American government, education, and entertainment. In Oklahoma, a law requiring all employees to take loyalty oaths was passed. Those who refused often lost their jobs.

Answer 2

The "Red Scare" was the advancement of fear of becoming communist in America. It was stopped by raiding headquarters of different organizations. Many criminals or suspects were arrested (over 4,000). In Oklahoma many people wanted to be apart of the communist movement. It was one of the smaller movements but it was a movement that caught the governments attention for sure.
