Following the Bolshevik revolution in Russia and the establishment of the Soviet Union, the Communists made efforts to promote revolutions in Europe and the US. In 1919, President Wilson appointed A. Mitchell Palmer as his attorney-general. His attempts to root out the communists, anarchists, and other radicals became known as The Red Scare. Bombs were found by the US Post Office, addressed to prominent politicians and capitalists. An anarchist was blown up outside of Palmer's home. News was leaked to the press that the government was investigating important Americans and there was a belief that a radical overthrow of the government was in the works. Palmer enlisted the services of an attorney, J. Edgar Hoover, to help enforce provisions of the Espionage Act and the Sedition Act (1917/1918). A series of "Palmer Raids" were held in November, 1919, and thousands of anarchists, immigrants, and communists were rounded up.

The labor strikes during the 20s, especially the Boston Police Strike of 1919, frightened Americans.

The Russian Revolution, the violence associated with it, and the take over of Russia by the Communists also added to the fear in American society. Many Americans believed that most immigrants were anarchists, communists, or worse, attempting to bring down the government and values that were the United States. The result of the Red Scare was the Palmer Raids ordered by Wilson's Attorney-General, A. Mitchel Palmer. He ordered the round up of immigrants and known anarchists and suspected communists and socialists and had them deported. Many were innocent immigrants caught up in the fear.
