PRESENTATION OUTLINE
1.)MCCARTHYISM MAINLY STARTED WHEN JOSEPH MCCARTHY MADE A SPEECH AT A LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY LUNCHEON
AND WAVED AROUND A LIST CONTAINING THE NAMES OF 205 GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS SAYING THEY WERE COMMUNISTS
2.)AFTER MCCARTHYS SPEECH, AMERICA FRANTICLY TRIED GETTING ANY SUSPECTED "COMMUNISTS"
OUT OF POWER BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY
3.)MACCARTHY WAS SOON THEN PROMOTED TO CHAIRMAN OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS
WHICH GAVE HIM MORE POWER TO RUIN PEOPLE'S LIVES EASILY
4.)HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO WERE SUSPECTED COMMUNISTS WERE BROUGHT
TO TRIAL
5.)IT WAS LATER CONCLUDED THAT MOST PEOPLE CONVICTED ON TRIAL WERE CONVICTED ON
LITTLE OR NO EVIDENCE BUT MAINLY JUST BECAUSE THERE WAS SO MUCH FEAR OF COMMUNISM
