1. Senator McCarthy used fear tactics to frighten his listeners into thinking that although it may have been the case that communists outnumbered non-communists by a startling amount, it wasn't as extreme as he made it out to be.
McCarthy might have been considered a populist because he claimed to support "the people" over the elite.
2. Eisenhower said that even though military is costly to maintain, it is absolutely necessary to keep it built up. He warned against letting the high costs be discouraging. These costs were a result of the Cold War because it became important to keep the army ready to be used if the time came.
3. The Supreme Court said that "separate but equal" was not equal because the feeling of inferiority felt by black students who were separated from their white peers gave them no motivation to work.
4. The author was blaming the conformity on generations of inheriting wealth, and since the cycle wasn't being broken and the wealthy stayed wealthy, nothing changed.
5. The document which subject most correlates with the effects of the Cold War is the first document about Senator McCarthy. The "red scare" prompted a nationwide fear and hatred of communists and everything they stood for. McCarthy's fear tactics in his speeches were widely criticized for the notions they put in people's heads. Now, Senator McCarthy was not the only one who was fueling the tension between the capitalist West and the communist East, but he didn't ease it either.
