=Our Mission Statements**:**=

I believe that this site serves the purpose for informing anyone who reads it the main ideas of McCarthyism, the key players, important factors, the effect it had on history, and its effect on us today. Also this site should provide enough information to inform how McCarthyism relates to civil rights. -Ben Nickerson

I hope that by reading this web site, people will learn the effects of Joseph McCarthy, Mitchell Palmer,and others who contributed to the Red Scare. In addition, I hope people will understand the influence both Red Scares had on the country so nothing like it will ever happen again in history. Lastly, while reading this site, it is important for people to learn how others were interrogated for their political beliefs. People during the Red Scare were accused of being communist and persecuted unfairly. -Spencer Soucy

I believe, that by reading this site, people will become familiar with the concepts of McCarthyism and how it relates to civil rights. I also hope that people will become fluent in the main factors of McCarthyism: who started it, whose rights were violated, and how it effected our country. Lastly, I hope that by reading this site, one will realize the lasting effect this period in history had on our nation and its people. -Ben McNaboe
