20 points + brainliest "The United States was effective in containing the spread of Communism." To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? please give 3 topics I can elaborate on thank you!!

I completely disagree with this statement. When it came to the fear of communism to the united states they were in mass hysteria. It looked like the Salem witch trials where they would blame everyone and anyone of being a communist. The birth of McCarthyism  happened where people would run smear campaigns accusing people of being communist without actual proof. The accused were then blacklisted and some even lost their jobs because of this. This was all called the red scare. the red scare also led to unnecessary competitiveness between the soviet union and the united states. Everyone tuned in for the Olympics, arms race, and space race. All of which spent millions of dollars. none of this protected america from communism since it was an ideological stance of how the should work and took complete control of the government by one branch. this is impossible since the constitution prevent this with checks and balances. more than half of Americans at that time didn't even know what communism was.

the answers are a b and d

the correct answer is: (1) affected by gerrymandering; (2) not affected by gerrymandering.

gerrymandering is known as a practice that intends to establish a some kind of political advantage for a particular party or group. to do this district boundaries are manipulated. the new resulting district is named a gerrymandering.

in other words, what gerrymandering does is to draw the boundaries of electoral districts trying to benefit the party who is doing it. sometimes, the party controlling the legislature will redraw it so they can maximize the number of districts they are likely to control.
