&
Vanzetti Trial
MAST High School
US History – Period 4
Ms. Richardson
Terms to Know
Nativism - the policy of protecting the
interests of native-born or established
inhabitants against those of immigrants.
Xenophobia – a fear of immigrants
Terms to Know
• Communism – Economic system of equal
redistribution. (No private ownership)
• Capitalism - an economic/political in
which a country's trade and industry are
controlled by private owners for profit.
• Anarchy - absence of government and
absolute freedom of the individual.
What was the result of the new
immigration laws of the 1920s?
Nativism in the 1920s
New immigration laws set quotas (targets or
limits) on the number of immigrants allowed in
the U.S.
People from Southern and Eastern Europe were
especially kept out.
A main reason for these quotas was a fear of
communism and anarchism.
• First Red Scare (1918-1921) - a
nationwide fear of communists, socialists,
anarchists, and other dissidents.
• Palmer Raids – the government hunted
down arrested or deported suspected
communist, socialist and anarchist.
Other signs of nativism in the
1920s
The Sacco and Vanzetti Trial
 Two Italian anarchists were arrested in 1920 for
robbery and murder.
 The evidence was weak but they were convicted and
executed.
 Caused an uproar in the U.S. – many said the trial was
unfair because the judge disliked immigrants.
R.A.F.T
• Role of the Writer: Yourself
• Audience: Mayor Bradford (Massachusetts)
• Format: Formal letter
• Topic: How nativism influenced the decision in
the Sacco & Vanzetti trial
SAMPLE
August 14, 1921
Dear Mayor Bradford ,
The recent verdict in the Sacco
and Vanzetti trial causes me great
concern. I, like many Americans, do not
believe these men were given a fair trial.
Instead, their death sentence is largely
due to the corruption and bias of the
justice system against immigrants,
communist, anarchist and other groups
