Red Scare Pictures

Some ways in which the Red Scare was portrayed was through pictures. One calling was for a true sense of patriotism throughout the nation. The American citizens were fearing the communism power and due to the fact that this beautiful nation is a democracy, if the communists could get more people into America than there were democratic supporters, America could have been voted to be changed to a communist country. The first picture that follows is one example of the propaganda used to inform the American people that the Reds, the russian communists, were looking to take control over America. The second picture shows how patriotic many were and how many Americans became defensive when the subject of being a true American would come up. Both of these pictures portray some of the ways in which the picture propaganda was used to persuade the American peoples opinions.
