The Red Scare

There were two Red Scares. The first taking place in 1917 to 1920 and the second one from 1947 to 1957. The one that took place in 1917 took place after the Bolshevik Russian Revolution. It was a nation-wide hysteria of fear about communism. People feared that a Bolshevik Revolution in Denalik would change the American way of life. This fear was caused by a string of anarchist bombings. Groups that stood out during the Red Scare was the International Workers of the World and the Socialist Party. These groups were considered unpatriotic so people feared that they would start the revolution. This Red Scare was a very political moment and impacted the Unites States greatly.

Just like the scene of events listed above about the Red Scares, "The Great Gatsby" had in a way the same sort of shared and comparable events as the Red Scares. "The Great Gatsby" was written and based on the same time periods as about when the Red Scares began to take place. Not only that, but in a way, Gatsby was feared just as much as the scene of events listen in the Red Scares.
