What factors contributed to the Red Scare and the Palmer Raids Which followed World War 1?
The Red Scare and the Palmer Raids following World War I were fueled by a combination of factors, including widespread fear of communism and anarchism, particularly after the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. Economic instability and labor strikes in the U.S. heightened anxieties about radicalism and potential uprisings. Additionally, xenophobia and anti-immigrant sentiment intensified, as many viewed immigrants as potential threats to American values. The government, led by Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, responded with aggressive crackdowns on suspected radicals, amplifying the climate of fear and suspicion.

In 1920 Debs, in prison, got close to a million votes, more than he ever had before. Debs was sentenced to ten years for violating the Espionage Act of 1917. Debs had given a speech in which he urged people to resist the military drafts used to fill the WWI armies with fresh cannon fodder.
