Answer:

The fear of the Soviet Union and communism led to hundreds of Americans sent into prisons while thousands lost their jobs.

Explanation:

Senator Joseph McCarthy started the era of McCarthyism in America. Under McCarthyism during the 1940s and 1950s, many people arrested by accusing as Communist secret agents without precise proof. During this period, many Americans blamed of being communists and questioned before the government. The main targets of doubts were government workers. Many people grieved the loss of employment while some imprisoned.

His actions are sometimes linked with witch hunt because people were questioned by government authorities and accused of having links with Soviet even though they have nothing to do with it.

Another witch hunt that has occurred in the U.S. history is the presence of the Witchcraft in Salem. The fear pushed innocent people in the trial who considered to be controlled by the devil. The fear enthralled the colonists in Salem Village, Massachusetts, which led to the death of 18 people because of the Witch Hunts.
