the tremendous growth of the Socialist party during World War I.
The Red Scare of 1919-1920 was primarily influenced by post-World War I social unrest, fears of communism and anarchism, and the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. The rise of labor strikes, riots, and the perception of a growing radical left heightened anxieties about potential revolutionary movements in the United States. This led to widespread panic, government crackdowns on suspected radicals, and the Palmer Raids, which targeted immigrants and labor activists. Overall, it was a period marked by heightened nationalism and a reaction against perceived threats to American democracy and capitalism.
The American Communist Party, with over 700,000 members in 1919, posed a direct threat to the stability of American society.

None. The 19th amendment was passed in 1920.
The Red Scare of 1919-1920 was a period of intense fear and paranoia in the United States regarding the spread of communism and radical leftist ideologies following the Russian Revolution. This fear was exacerbated by labor strikes, social unrest, and the rise of anarchist and socialist movements. The U.S. government responded with widespread raids, arrests, and deportations, particularly targeting immigrants and suspected radicals, most notably in the Palmer Raids led by Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer. This era reflected a broader anxiety about national security and the influence of foreign ideologies in American society.

The silver 2 francs "semeuse" (1889 - 1920) in mint condition is worth at best between 7€ to 15€ depending of the year. The most valuable coins in this series are those before 1913. Coins issued from 1915 to 1920 are the most common and the less sought after.
