1) Americans turned toward domestic isolation and social conservatism in the 1920s because of the red scare. People used the red scare to break the backs of all fledgling unions. Labor's call for the all-union shop was denounced as "Sovietism in disguise." The antiunion campaign was then known as "the American plan". Isolationist Americans had little hope in the 1920s. Immigrants had begun to flood into the country. 800,000 fled to the US from 1920-1921. This was known as "New Immigration". The Emergency Quota act of 1921 then set the other counties to only three percent to be able to come to the US. After, the Immigration Act of 1924 cut the percent from 3 to 2, and was taken from the census 1890 rather than 1910, since that had been a huge immigration year. Japanese had it the worst. The Immigration act of 1924 ended the era of unrestricted immigration which had before brought 35 million to the US. Over all the main reason for isolation was due to anti European feelings, the cheap immigrant labor that made down wages, the need for skilled workers, the people could never be true Americans, and radical political movement and beliefs such as socialism, communism, and anarchism were viewed as European in origin and as possible threats to political durability in the United States.
