Americans Struggle with Postwar Issues

1. How did the Justice Department under A. Mitchell Palmer respond to this fear?
They hunted down suspected Communists, socialists, and anarchists. They trampled people's civil rights and sent foreigns back without legal counsel.
2. Why did Palmer eventually lose his standing with the American public?
Palmer's raids failed to turn up evidence of a revolutionary conspiracy- or even explosives. Many thought Palmer was just looking for a campaign issue to gain support for his presidential aspirations.
3. How did the Ku Klux Klan respond to this fear?
They used the result of the Red Scare and anti-immigrant feelings as an excuse to harass any group unlike themselves.
4. Why did the Klan eventually lose popularity and membership?
Because of all of its crimal activity.
5. Briefly describe how Sacco and Vanzetti became victims of the Red Scare.
They were killed because they were both Italians and there was a murder which they were blamed for because they were Italians.
