Detailed explanation-1: -During the Red Scare of 1919-1920, many in the United States feared recent immigrants and dissidents, particularly those who embraced communist, socialist, or anarchist ideology.
Detailed explanation-2: -The term is most often used to refer to two periods in the history of the United States which are referred to by this name. The First Red Scare, which occurred immediately after World War I, revolved around a perceived threat from the American labor movement, anarchist revolution, and political radicalism.
Detailed explanation-3: -The raids particularly targeted Italian immigrants and Eastern European Jewish immigrants with alleged leftist ties, with particular focus on Italian anarchists and immigrant leftist labor activists. The raids and arrests occurred under the leadership of Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, with 350, 000 arrested.
Detailed explanation-4: -Who were the main victims of the Red Scare? Immigrants were the most usual targets, but so were people in workers’ unions, or anyone with left-wing ideas. The International Workers of the World Union (IWW) and the Socialist Party came under particular suspicion.
