Domestic containment in the 1950s and 1960s definition

Communism was contained domestically through the 2nd Red Scare or McCarthyism.

 A policy of fear and propaganda through the 2nd Red Scare contained communistic ideology. In addition to immigration restrictions, communist ideology remained limited in the 1950s and 1960s. The biggest containment policy of the time period was led by Joseph McCarthy. McCarthy, for whom McCarthyism is named, was a junior senator who claimed to have a list of known communists working in the State Department spying on the US for the USSR. He used fear to lead a "witch hunt" causing many people to lose their jobs or become blacklisted. The fear of being blacklisted or living next to a communist kept communist ideology suppressed or contained through the 1950s and 1960s.
