I attached the book and read one chapter and write compare and contrast these two primary sources from chapter 23. Discuss your sources within their time period.
After reading the chapter think about what was going on at the time these were written and discuss the questions for these sources.
1. Joseph R. McCarthy, Speech at Wheeling (1950)
2. Margaret Chase Smith, Speech in the Senate (1950)
Discussion Questions:
a) What kind of social resentments are evident in McCarthy’s speech?
b) What does Smith believe is the essence of freedom of speech?
c) What do these documents suggest about how the Cold War affected discussions of freedom in the early 1950s?
Please do the best
