Americans feared anarchists primarily due to the widespread belief that they posed a threat to social order and capitalist society, especially in the wake of violent events like the Haymarket Affair in 1886. This fear was exacerbated by the Red Scare following World War I, leading to a heightened suspicion of political radicals. Many Americans expected that anarchists would incite chaos, overthrow the government, and lead to societal collapse, prompting a crackdown on perceived subversive elements. This resulted in a broader anti-immigrant sentiment, as many anarchists were associated with immigrant communities.

The labor strikes during the 20s, especially the Boston Police Strike of 1919, frightened Americans. It was feared that the strikes were being controlled by communist or socialist agitators or anarchists. There was also fear of immigrants during this time period. The Russian Revolution, the violence associated with it, and the take over of Russia by the Communists also added to the fear in American society. Many Americans believed that most immigrants were anarchists, communists, or worse, attempting to bring down the government and values that were the United States. The result of the Red Scare was the Palmer Raids ordered by Wilson's Attorney-General, A. Mitchel Palmer. He ordered the round up of immigrants and known anarchists and suspected communists and socialists and had them deported. Many were innocent immigrants caught up in the fear.
