It happened during the cold war because people were scared of communism and its spread across the world. The theme of the cold war was the prevention of the spread of communism, and many people thought that communism was spreading inside the US. The US was extremely paranoid about communism, which led to its involvement in Vietnam and many other wars. In a nut shell, Americans were so paranoid that they thought communism was spreading in their own country.
