During the First Red Scare, which occurred from 1919 to 1920, people in the United States responded to fears of communism and anarchism following the Russian Revolution. Widespread paranoia led to government crackdowns on suspected radicals, including the Palmer Raids, where thousands were arrested without warrants. Many Americans experienced heightened xenophobia, targeting immigrants and labor movements associated with leftist ideologies. Public sentiment often favored repression over civil liberties, resulting in significant social and political consequences.
