How did the Red Scare the Sacco and Vanzetti case and the rise of the Klu Klux Klan reflect concerns held by many Americans?

Answer 1

1. The red scare was our fear of the spread of communism. This scare caused a witch hunt to get rid of communist in the United States and elsewhere around the world. Anybody that was accused of being associated with communist was put on trial and convicted. Movie producers, lawyers, judges, etc. lost their freedom and careers due to this witch hunt. The red scare was a contributing factor in the war in Vietnam. We were "afraid" that the communist North would overtake the democratic south. The Sacco and Vanzetti trial reflected our fears of Immigration, immigrant crime, and anarchy. There was also an anti-Italian sentiment in the trail and conviction felt by many Americans throughout the country because of organized crime. The rise of the Ku Klux Klan reflected white America's fear that minority groups would eventually take over America. This fear was born from the rise in population of immigrants and American blacks, coupled with the change in America politics to give these minority groups equal rights and jobs.
