It created paranoia
Explanation:
Communism was a source of fear in the United States (the so-called Red Scare) embodied by Joseph McCarthy who led purges and witch hunts in the American administration, especially the army. Communists were excluded from some professions(professors or teachers for instance), the Rosenbergs were sentenced to death in 1953 for allegedly giving information that helped the Soviets develop an atomic bomb. The HUAC(1938-1975) was in charge of chasing people who were potential traitors and notably communists during the Cold War.
