Second reply
Adriana,
The Red Scare was a movement that emerged in the United
States after the Russian revolution, when communist defeated
the government therefore becoming a communist nation. The
Red Scare created fear among immigrants due to the fact that
Americans believe that they were not able to adapt to the
American culture and customs. They Implemented laws staying
that no one should teach a child in a foreign language. “Robert
Meyer, a parochial school teacher in Nebraska, was found guilty
of violating a 1919 law that mandate that all instruction be in
English” (Foner, 2017b, p. 151). Afterward, the Supreme court
removed his sentence due to it was violating the 14 amendment.

3. During these Red Scare period there more violations of liberty
like the execution of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti,
two Italians accused of robbery and sentenced to death even
though it wasn’t proved. “Their trial took place in an
atmosphere of anti-immigrant and anti-radical hysteria” ((Foner,
2017b, p. 145). This increased the fear among Immigrants, since
these two men were assassinated just because they were
immigrants and think differently.

Original prompt
Prompt
After decades of largely unfettered immigration, America began
to close her doors and discuss limiting the number of new
immigrants to the country. This was driven in part by the Red
Scare and the fear of radicalism, but also the perception that
many immigrants were failing to integrate into American
society. Using the readings on pp. 792–793 of the textbook and
Vanzetti’s last statement (Reading 134), as well as the longer
readings on Congressional immigration (Reading 135) and the
Meyer v. Nebraska
case (Reading 136), how do these readings reflect the growing
divisions over the nature of American society in the 1920s?
