Question

what term describes the widespread fear that the bolshevik revolution and communism would spread to the united states?
white fright
red scare
black horror
purple phobia

Explanation:

The Red Scare was a period of intense fear in the United States during the early 20th century. It was centered around the fear that the Bolshevik Revolution (which was associated with communism) would spread to the US. The term "Red" was used because of the association of communism with the red flag. "White Fright" is not a relevant term in this context. "Black Horror" and "Purple Phobia" are also not terms used to describe this specific fear related to the spread of the Bolshevik Revolution and communism to the US.

Answer:

Red Scare
