    In the 1920s, the fear of communism spread throughout America. That fear and panic became known as the Red Scare. Even though the red scare died out in the 1920s, it reoccurred in the 1950s.

I watched as the whole building exploded into smithereens, an explosion that resonated even 5 miles away. Fire burned triumphantly over the debris, dancing, like a God announcing the defeat of his enemy. The air turned…
