The Red Scare of the 1950s significantly influenced U.S. domestic policies by fostering an environment of anti-communism that permeated various aspects of society. The government implemented measures such as the McCarran Internal Security Act and increased funding for intelligence agencies, leading to heightened surveillance and the persecution of suspected communists. Additionally, it prompted loyalty oaths and investigations, particularly in government and educational institutions, as a means to root out perceived subversive elements. This climate of fear not only affected civil liberties but also shaped cultural and political discourse during the Cold War era.
