In both cases there was a decline in production and unemployment began to rise after the Red Scare whereas the stock market had declined after the 9/11 attacks.

To show, there are not a lot of similarities of the two but there are some. But there are more differences to

The actions of 9/11 and the Red Scare are in fact different. With the Red Scare it was Communism and with 9/11 it was Muslims, basically all Middle Easterners. Even though the date and time of the events are different, in both events men were able to step up and take advantage of fear and hatred to turn it into suspicion and paranoia. During the time of the Red Scare attack, the U.S became afraid that communist especially from Russia and China would spread throughout the modern world. The United States is a Democratic Nation and feared that the spread of communist would be good for the United States or the world.
Red Scare panic and hysteria began in 1919-1920’s after WWI. Thanks to the Red Scare, the American public became paranoid and suspicious of everyone from Communist Russian. In some cases, neighbors would report neighbors as being Communist spies just because they did not like their neighbor. The modern day terrorism The anti-Muslim panic and hysteria arose after terrorists came to the United States as normal immigrants and used the American education system to train themselves to be aircraft pilots and got support money from those already in the United Sates began with the attacks on the World Trade Center and The Pentagon. Both are the reactions of the American public to acts of war.
Six senators and fifty House representatives were getting abuses and invectives by opposing the declaration of war. The malicious falsehood and recklessly libelous attacks eventually led to the name of treason. Anti-communist hysteria lead to the first Red Scare. Attroney General A. Mitchell Palmer arrested vast amount of socialist, labor unions, and anarchists. 6000 people were arrested without strong and accurate evidences.
After we talked I decided to research what happened during 9-11 and why along with other incidents that happened in the 1900’s. After World War I and the Russian Revolution, Americans across the country, became fearful of the “Reds”. This group of people were Communist Party members and soldiers of the Red Army.
The Red Scare Overview/Impact on Society •“Red Scare” was the fear of communism during the 1920s •Only 0.1% of U.S were actual communists •1917: A group of communists overthrew and murdered the royal family in Russia (increased fear) •1901: President Mckinley was killed by a communist •1919: The fear of communism increased during strikes

Body Paragraph 1: Political Developments The Red Scare caused a political shift in the US as the government, in an attempt to combat the perceived threat of communism, passed several laws that restricted civil liberties. One example is the Sedition Act of 1918, which made it a crime to criticize the government. "The Sedition Act of 1918…made it a federal crime to use disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language about the government, the flag, or the armed forces," (MTSU). This law was used to suppress dissent and prosecute those who opposed the government's policies.
During the Cold War, hysteria in the U.S. ensued over the perceived threat of Communism. This mass hysteria became known as ‘The Red Scare’ due to Communist’s loyalty to the red flag. These fears were not totally unfounded, as the USSR had been spying inside America for a long time. The Red Scare became influential to world history by causing leaders to pass acts that would not have been passed otherwise that reduced the Communist Party to a shadow of its past self..

In 1692, the hysteria of what is now known as the Salem witch trials begun. It all started within the minister’s household when his daughter and niece started to act outlandishly. Witchcraft was blamed for their behavior and actions, which resulted in the madness of accusing almost every woman in the village of Salem. About 20 were eventually executed (Blumberg 1). This delirium ended when minister Cotton Mather and his son pleaded to cease the use of spectral evidence, the “testimony about dreams and visions” (Blumberg 2).
Additionally, these attacks brought the realization that the U.S. was not immune from worldwide threat and eventually lead the States into two different wars.

These attacks, though unwanted, have helped to aid and further develop who we are as a country. After those attacks, our attitude on terrorism changed. It used to be that we thought we were untouchable, that no one could mess with us or even stand up to us. We had defaulted and they had taken us down but this was the dawn a momentous change in the United States.
