Eventually, almost 3 million people served in the Corps. The men signed on for 6 months and were organized into crews that reforested land, undertook conservation projects in National Parks, and worked on trails and clearing growth in National Forests. They built bridges, repaired dams, built fire lookouts and fences, and did terracing to prevent erosion. They were paid $30 a month, but they had to send $25 to their folks in the cities, so the parents would have money to spend to stimulate the economy.

The 1920's were a time of great change in the United States of America. New ideas of how things should work socially, politically, and economically were taking shape as older, more traditional ideas struggled to maintain their foothold on the American people. Newly established ideas and institutions such as mass advertisement and organized crime were a manifestation of the conflict between modern and traditional ideas, as well as the cause for much tension between the two opposing sides of the issue.

Who was a radical immigrant who was executed in 1920?
Sacco and Vanzetti.
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were Italian born anarchists and labour activists who lived in the United States. In the 20's they were framed for a robbery in which a security guard was murdered. Although they were not guilty, they were both executed on the basis of flimsy evidence.
During the 20's there was an extreme red scare and the authorities were intent upon crushing any form of dissent. The judge in the case was quoted in the case:
This man, although he may not have actually committed the crime attributed to him, is nevertheless morally culpable, because he is the enemy of our existing institutions. The foreman of the jury also believed they were enemies of the state and should be hanged whether they were guilty or not.
The judge later boasted to his friends about his giving the death sentence to Sacco and Vanzetti:
Did you see what I did to those anarchist bastards the other day Sacco and Vanzetti were political scapegoats. They appealled their death sentence for 6 years and were executed August 23rd 1927. After their execution, thousands took to the streets in protest all around the world.
