Joseph McCarthy was a senator from Wisconsin many people knew him as a cruel and a

unfaire person they though because he cheated his votes to become a judge. Joseph

McCarthy was a senator from Wisconsin but other people no him as Joseph McCarthy.

Joe was born and raised in Wisconsin. Joe was born November 14 1908." At age 33,

McCarthy volunteered for the United States Marine Corps and served during World War

II. He successfully ran for the United States Senate in 1946, defeating Robert M. La

Follette, Jr". People know Joe as a senator others no him a anti communist. “McCarthyism

was a modern day witch hunt with anyone who had ever even talked to a communist being

immediately guilty“. The problem was he’s a cheater at campaigning giving out false info

on people. Joe only did this so he can win the elections because he doesn’t know how to

play fair. Joe just wanted to win and that why he acted cruel and unfair because he want to

win. When he won he didn’t keep any of his promises. When he was running for judge he

lied about the other candidate. Many people died because joe didn’t wan them to know

what commuision and if the wanted to know they got killed. The victims in the

commuisions were all different some died and hundreds were thrown in jail and thousand

lost there jobs. There to many place that it happened and now its unknown. In this time

period the cold war was going on and this just made it worst around 42 thousand people

lost there jobs and hundreds were thrown into prison so at this time period they had a lot

going on joe just made it worst. It lasted around the late 1940’s and ended around the late

1950’s so it lasted maybe around ten eleven years. This person connects with my theme

because the cold war was all depression and the McCarthyism only caused more

depression and while all of this was happing it was in the middle of the cold war. The cold war was a big great depression war builded up with all different connients were apart of

this great big dpression because it was south america, north america, Europe, and aisa all

of them were apart of this millions of people died just because of this.


We should care about this person today because if we don’t know are history it will be

guarantee that it will repeat itself that’s why we have history today. Joe is only famous to

people who lived in that time period if you say his name some people get scared other

have no clue who he is and where he come from people don’t like to say his name because

it reminds them if fear. The only thing is that people depression on there face and talk to

people who been through it and that’s about it. Joe change history a lot he made a big

great depression, deaths, lost of jobs many people cant get over it how one man was so

powerful. This man was only this powerful because people thought he was good but one

they elected him they found out about the real Joseph McCarthy and now most people

should really think about who they should elect because its your choice and you must no

it.
