It was a period during the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union where the people in the US were scared of the spread of communism throughout the world. Also referred to as the "Red Scare". People here were "blacklisted" if suspected of being a communist or socialist. Many were incarcerated or deported. The US government spied on its own people, using wire taps and tapping into personal records. People were so scared of communism in the US, they would snitch on people they suspected of being communist.
