Joseph McCarthy's loyalty oaths were part of a broader effort during the early Cold War period to root out perceived communist influence within the U.S. government and other institutions. These oaths required government employees and individuals in sensitive positions to affirm their allegiance to the United States and to deny any affiliation with the Communist Party or other subversive organizations. The practice contributed to a climate of fear and suspicion, leading to widespread accusations and blacklisting, as McCarthy sought to expose alleged communist infiltrators. Ultimately, this campaign is often associated with the Red Scare and has been criticized for its infringement on civil liberties.
