Which of these resulted from the success of McCarthyism?

a) Increased spending on the military

b) The resignation of President Truman

c) The blacklisting of suspected communists

d) Decreases in immigration quotas for Eastern Europe

Answer:-

c) The blacklisting of suspected communists

The Cold War’s fear of communism resulted in the Second Red Scare in the 1940s and 1950s. During a time when the government and the general public were concerned about the presence of anti-American elements in every corner of society, Senator Joseph R. McCarthy decided to capitalize on the widespread fear and increase his own popularity by accusing numerous people, groups, and government departments of harboring communists.
