The farmers bought more land during WW1 to make a profit from the starving people of Europe. After the war the US was thriving and charged high taxes to foreign companies, ensuring that US companies had no foreign competitors. Unfortunately, this made Europe boycott US exports, leaving the farmers producing too much with not as many people to sell it to, which wasn't helped by the US's falling population. Then more efficient Canadian wheat growers sold wheat at a better deal than US farmers. Finally, the farmers bought machinery on a loan basis; as they overproduced and demand went down, they had to sell food at a minimum price to still pay loans. This failed and many lost their farms as a result.

Not all farmers lost land; specialist farmers succeeded by selling fresh fruit and vegetables, such as lettuce, to the rich.

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.
