During the Red Scare, particularly in the late 1940s and early 1950s, thousands of individuals were accused of being communists or communist sympathizers. The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) and Senator Joseph McCarthy were instrumental in these accusations, leading to investigations and blacklisting in various sectors, including entertainment and government. Estimates suggest that over 10,000 people were investigated, with hundreds facing public accusations and many losing their jobs. However, the exact number of those formally accused varies depending on the context and source.
