How the Red Scare Affected USA Immigration: Sacco and Vanzetti, Palmer Raids, and More
Niamh McKee

The Sacco and Vanzetti Case: A Symbol of Intolerance
The Sacco and Vanzetti case became a powerful symbol of the intolerance and injustice that characterized the Red Scare era. This high-profile trial exposed the deep-seated prejudices and flaws within the American legal system, attracting worldwide attention and criticism.
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were Italian immigrants who found themselves at the center of a controversial murder trial. The case unfolded as follows:
- December 24, 1919: The Bridgewater crime occurred.
- April 15, 1920: The South Braintree crime took place, where Fred Parmenter was murdered.
- May 5, 1920: Sacco and Vanzetti were arrested and charged with Parmenter's murder.
- May 31, 1921: The trial began.
- July 14, 1921: The jury delivered a guilty verdict.
- August 23, 1927: Sacco and Vanzetti were executed by electric chair.
- August 24, 1927: The "March of Sorrow" took place, a public demonstration mourning their execution.
Quote: The trial was reported all over the world as it showed the intolerance of American society.
The case highlighted several issues that were prevalent during the Red Scare:
- Racial discrimination: Sacco and Vanzetti were Italian immigrants, making them targets of the widespread xenophobia of the time.
- Political persecution: They were known anarchists, which made them particularly suspicious in the eyes of authorities and the public.
- Flawed justice system: The case exposed the unfairness of the American legal system, as many believed they were convicted on flimsy evidence.
Highlight: The Sacco and Vanzetti case remains a powerful reminder of the dangers of allowing fear and prejudice to influence the justice system.
The Red Scare had lasting impacts on American society, including:
- Restrictive immigration policies: The implementation of quotas and stricter entry requirements made it more difficult for immigrants to enter the country.
- Increased suspicion of foreigners: The xenophobia that characterized the Red Scare period continued to influence attitudes towards immigrants for years to come.
- Erosion of civil liberties: The Palmer Raids and similar actions set a precedent for government overreach in the name of national security.
Definition: The "Open Door Policy," initiated in 1899 and 1900, was designed to make entry into the country as easy as possible. This policy stood in stark contrast to the restrictive measures implemented during and after the Red Scare.
Understanding the Red Scare and its consequences is crucial for young students, as it provides valuable lessons about the importance of protecting civil liberties, maintaining a fair justice system, and resisting the temptation to scapegoat minority groups during times of national stress.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7.
