McCarthyism in the U.S.A

**__ Link: __**

**__ http://www.essortment.com/red-scare-mccarthyism-21546.html __**

1. **Quality of Source**

This source is reliable because it comes with a copyright disclaimer and gives a detailed summary of McCarthyism in the U.S.A during the Red Scare.

2. **Most Important Informational Aspects of this Source**

A) After the Second World War, Americans feared the communists were trying to take over America. Americans believed that being communist was worse than committing murder. Just being suspected of being communist would mean that you were branded a traitor and even if you were associated with a communist, it would be considered as just as bad as being one yourself.

B) What made people so paranoid of communism was that news reporters confirmed that some communist countries had spies in the U.S. People suspected of being communist were blacklisted. This would destroy their professional reputation. Many suspected communist were actors and writers. They believed that through movies, communist writers were brainwashing Americans and putting communist propaganda into their heads.

C) McCarthyism played a major role in changing both politics and society. Due to this, it lead to a distrust in the government and political activism.

3. **Why I Choose this Source**

I chose this source because it provided me with a detailed summary of McCarthyism in the United States and the influence it had on the people.

I found this source to be very reliable as the people involved with the website had actually been involved in the Korean War. They created a separate page dedicated to photos and personal anecdotes about the Inchon invasion. The information is also very accurate with other websites that I visited. I also found this source to be very reliable because it is updated frequently and has nearly one million hits.
 * 1. Quality of the Source**


 * 2. Most Important Informational Aspects of this Source**
 * a.** The attack, which took place on September 15th, 1950, included over 320 warships, 4 aircraft carriers along with some 70,000 men all sent to the Inchon harbor.
 * b.** Although President Truman disliked the US Marine Corps and had cut many positions prior to the invasion, the remaining men were still able to deploy effectively and take over the Perimeter and South Korea.
 * c.** "It was a flaming miracle" - None of the assaulting forces has any prior training together yet they were able to combine and get the victory in a very complicated amphibious assault. The events were like clockwork and the North Korean's simply weren't prepared.

I chose this source compared to others because it explains all of the events by their respective dates and in detail. It is also very personal and has been updated with stories from veterans of the US Navy. Overall it is very reliable and quite easy to understand.

====<span style="color: #006e12 ! important; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 5px;">This poem talks about the hardships and the turmoil of the Korean war. It also talks about how the war wasn't considered a war, and more of a "police battle". ==== Why i chose this: I chose this poem because it was a direct source from someone who fought in it. Poems (among other forms of art) are not the best way to get information, but rather a way to get the personal emotions of the people of the events. in this case, it was an American soldier and his veiws of the war.
