The second Red Scare, propaganda, Russian growth in power, nuclear tension, and the Hollywood Ten were all parts of the war that damaged American policies. Civilians lost trust between one another and within the government. Communism intimidated many people, and the Cold War made it appear as though it would soon take over the world.

After gambling for the right to deliver the news, a lone sentry brazenly travels to tell Creon the news and after being berated says, “you have seen the last of me here…” and briskly walks off (scene I lines 160-163). Creon has disrupted the feeling of trust by misplacing fear in the hearts of the sentry because he wanted his edict to be all-powerful.

Shakur also disliked the government because of its flaws in its policies.

He understood that unruly armed farmers threatening the new government could result in anarchy or a military dictatorship. George Washington did not want everything he fought for to turn into that. Even when a similar situation of agitated soldiers, better trained than Shay’s group of farmers, wanting to engage in a military coup arose and Washington could have gained dictatorial powers, Washington shut it down.
