The Second Red Scare has more to do with McCarthism.

They are similar in a way that the America feared the increase of communism.

It seems like the first red scare was more violent and booms before the world wars while the second red scare was more to do with wrong -witch hunt like- accuses. Especially, the second red scared was overreaction which caused hundreds of people prisioned and thousands people losing jobs.

go check on Google or wiki for more information.

good luck!
