12.1 Post-War Struggles
Anti-Immigration Changes• The revived KKK now went after Catholics,
Jews and other immigrant groups – (along with African Americans)
Anti-Immigration Changes• The Sacco and Vanzetti Case showed how
immigrants suspected of Communism/ anarchism could not get a fair trial.
U.S.’s “Red Scare”• 1917, “October Revolution” makes Russia
into a Communist country (Soviet Union)– The “Palmer Raids” carried out by the govt. did
not turn up any major plot for revolution in the U.S.
– But it did show how the govt. incorrectly connected Communism with immigrants and unions in the US
U.S.’s “Red Scare”• 1919 was a big year of strikes– The strike against U.S. Steel Corp. was a major
setback for unions, which had won many raises during WWI• Brutality against workers was terrible
U.S.’s “Red Scare”– The use of force against the striking Boston
police gained Calvin Coolidge enough popularity to get elected VP in 1920
