The Red Scare of 1920 led to widespread fear of communism and radical leftism in the United States, resulting in a wave of anti-immigrant sentiment and the persecution of suspected radicals. This period saw the Palmer Raids, where thousands were arrested without warrants, and many were deported. Civil liberties were often compromised, as public opinion turned against labor movements and political dissent. The atmosphere of paranoia fostered division within American society, shaping attitudes toward Immigration and political ideology for years to come.
The First Red Scare, which unfolded in the United States from 1919 to 1920, led to widespread fear of communism and anarchism following the Russian Revolution. This resulted in a series of government actions, including the Palmer Raids, which targeted suspected radicals and immigrants, often violating civil liberties. The scare fostered a climate of suspicion and paranoia, leading to increased nativism and a backlash against labor movements. Ultimately, it set a precedent for future anti-communist sentiments in American society.
During the Red Scare, the Americans feared the spread of communism (red was the colour of the flag of the communist Soviet Union and the communist emblem known as the red star). There were two Red Scares in U.S.A.: 1) 1919-1920: Fear of socialist revolution and political radicalism (red is a symbol of radical ideology). 2) 1947-1957: Fear of national and foreign communism influencing American society and/or infiltrating the federal government.

A. Mitchell Palmer, as U.S. Attorney General during the Red Scare of 1919-1920, significantly influenced American society through his aggressive campaign against perceived radical leftist threats, particularly anarchists and communists. He orchestrated the Palmer Raids, which led to the arrest and deportation of thousands of individuals without proper legal procedures, fostering a climate of fear and suspicion. His actions contributed to a broader anti-communist sentiment that shaped American politics and civil liberties, leaving a lasting impact on the nation's approach to immigration and dissent.
