Why was Sacco and Vanzetti arrested?
The Italian immigrants, Sacco and Vanzetti, were arrested for an armed robbery in South Braintree, Massachusetts, in which a guard and a paymaster were killed. They were promptly found guilty and sentenced to die in the electric chair. The newly formed American Civil Liberties Union, Italian-American groups, and labor organizations publicized the fact that there was no hard evidence against the two and some of the evidence was invented by the prosecution The Judge at their trial was openly prejudiced against the Italians and called them "damned dagos." Sacco and Vanzetti admitted to being radicals in their political beliefs but proclaimed their innocence of the crime. The case received world wide attention and even the Italian Dictator Mussolini expressed that he felt the guilty verdict was wrong. Regardless, Sacco and Vanzetti were executed in 1927. Research later indicated that Sacco probably was guilty of the murders and probably had Vanzetti's help in the robbery. Unfortunately, at that time in American history, most Americans were anti-immigrant and glad to see anarchists and radicals punished, whether they were guilty or not.
Who was a radical immigrant who was executed in 1920?
Sacco and Vanzetti. Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were Italian born anarchists and labour activists who lived in the United States. In the 20's they were framed for a robbery in which a security guard was murdered. Although they were not guilty, they were both executed on the basis of flimsy evidence. During the 20's there was an extreme red scare and the authorities were intent upon crushing any form of dissent. The judge in the case was quoted in the case: This man, although he may not have actually committed the crime attributed to him, is nevertheless morally culpable, because he is the enemy of our existing institutions. The foreman of the jury also believed they were enemies of the state and should be hanged whether they were guilty or not. The judge later boasted to his friends about his giving the death sentence to Sacco and Vanzetti: Did you see what I did to those anarchist bastards the other day Sacco and Vanzetti were political scapegoats. They appealled their death sentence for 6 years and were executed August 23rd 1927. After their execution, thousands took to the streets in protest all around the world.
What did both the Palmer raids and the Sacco And Vanzetti case demonstrate about the red scare?
The Palmer Raids occurred during a time when Americans were fearful of anarchists, communists, and immigrants in general. Italians were considered to all be mobsters or criminals, or radicals or anarchists. The Attorney-General took advantage of those feelings to advance his political career by rounding up immigrants and those he accused or assumed to be anarchists. The Italian immigrants, Sacco and Vanzetti, were arrested for an armed robbery in South Braintree, Massachusetts, in which a guard and a paymaster were killed.
