History
1 answer:
Juliette [100K]2 years ago
8 0
In their eyes McCarthy was not doing anything wrong. He was searching for communists and chasing people who had socialist and communist tendencies as these people were perceived as those who wanted to overthrow the American government, or at least turn the public support against the government which is what they disliked.

The result was that numerous people were arrested or questioned and their lives got completely ruined. There was a blacklist where they'd have people's names and these people could not find jobs or get loans or anything similar because they were seen as the public enemy. Most of the people on the blacklist had nothing to do with communism and were punished while being completely innocent.

Sam Adams ⇒ politician, signer of  the Declaration of Independence

  • <em>Failed to defend property rights  of Indigenous people</em>

Declaration of Independence

  • <em>Enslaved his own children</em>

Thomas Jefferson was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence which called for people to be free and able to live in liberty.

He clearly did not think enslaved people deserved these rights as he owned about 600 enslaved people throughout his life. He also had an affair with one of his enslaved people and when she gave birth, their children became his enslaved people.

George Washington ⇒ General in  the Continental Army

  • <em>Tried to recapture an enslaved woman  who escaped to New Hampshire</em>

Nixon created a task force to desegregate the schools still segregated in the South. By the end of Nixon's presidency only a few schools were left segregated. In this way, Nixon supported the Court and enforced their decision regarding school segregation.
