The federal government did not pass civil rights laws until the late 1950s because of a long-standing commitment to states' rights and a prevailing culture of racial segregation, particularly in the South. After the Reconstruction era, discriminatory laws and practices, such as Jim Crow laws, were enacted and upheld by both state and federal courts. Additionally, political compromise and the interests of Southern lawmakers often stymied attempts at federal civil rights legislation. It wasn't until the Civil Rights Movement gained momentum in the 1950s that the federal government began to take more decisive action to protect civil rights.
The term that describes the fear of Communist influence in the 1950s is "McCarthyism." Named after Senator Joseph McCarthy, it refers to the intense anti-communist sentiment and the campaign against alleged communists in the U.S. government and other institutions. This period was marked by aggressive investigations, accusations, and blacklisting, often without proper evidence, leading to widespread paranoia and a culture of fear regarding communist infiltration.
