Detailed explanation-1: -Americans often linked radicalism with what? Immigrants. One of the largest strikes in American History began when steel workers went on strike for recognition of their union, higher pay, and what? Shorter hours.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Red Scare, radical anarchist bombings, and the Sacco & Vanzetti trial led to a rise in nativism – the dislike of foreigners. Nativists believed white Protestant Americans were superior to others. These nativist attitudes would bring restrictions on immigration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Enraged by the bombings, the United States government responded by raiding the headquarters of radical organizations and arresting thousands of suspected radicals. Several thousand who were aliens were deported. The largest raids occurred on January 2, 1920 when over 4000 suspected radicals were seized nationwide.
