"When Truman assumed the presidency after Roosevelt's death, he quickly took a belligerent stance toward the Soviet Union." Truman used tactics he referred to as "tough methods" at delegations during the Potsdam Conference." Truman became bossy after learning of the successful test of America's atomic bomb. These halted postwar issues at a deadlock and set in motion the mentality of the Cold War.

"Germany lost the war and was divided into four zones of occupation, controlled by the United States, France, Britain, and the Soviet Union. At Potsdam the Allies agreed to disarm the country, dismantle its military production facilities, and permit the occupying powers to extract reparations from the zones they controlled. Plans for the future reunification stalled, however, as the United States and the Soviet Union each worried that a united Germany would fall into the other's sphere."

Later Truman chose to relieve MacArthur of command because of his blatantly insubordination. This may have been a little late and it also drastically decreased Public opinion of Truman because MacArthur was seen as a WWII hero. Truman had to do what was expected of a person in his position. He protected the American people from the aspiring goals of MacArthur that were reaching madness.

Myself, if I had lived during the time of the Red Scare I would have most likely given into the pressure of the media and peers. I would have most likely feared Communist attacks and Nuclear Fallout. Knowing what I know now, I am glad that we did have the Cold War. The Cold War increased our military mobilization, which increased our technological advances and helped to script the world I live in today. Fortunately for now there is no major power which is Communist, but if the Democratic system fails in the future I could foresee another Communist government rising up to replace our own today. I have learned that people may try anything when all else fails. Let Democracy REIGN!

The U.S. now had two policies making impacts against the Communist regime. The Marshall Plan gave aid to those countries in need and opened doors for the U.S. to influence their ideas and government, while the containment act stopped aggression attempts of expansion of communism.

Public opinion should have direct impact on its representatives in government. To respond to the need of a representative government of the current public opinion, the House of Representatives are elected every two years. This will answer to the periodic shifts of public opinion. The senate remained insulated from direct popular influence with a six-year term of office.
