What was its setting? A NE T CEWorld War I brought great upheaval to American society. When the war ended, The S MEend of TAP E CRI government agencies removed their controls from the American economy. This released pent-up demand in the economy. People raced to buy goods that had been rationed, while businesses rapidly raised prices they had been forced to keep low during the war. The result was rapid inflation. The inflation rate was more than 15% per year. Inflation increased the cost of living. Many companies had been forced to raise wages during the war, but inflation threatened to wipe out any gains the workers had made. Workers wanted higher wages to keep up with inflation, while companies wanted to not increase wages in an effort to keep their operation expenses down. Many companies were determined to break the back of the unions as well. These circumstances led to an enormous wave of strikes in 1919. By year’s end over 4 million workers had been involved in over 3. 600 strikes. The first major strike was the Seattle General Strike. This worried Americans because the general strike was a tactic used by the Communists in Europe. The most famous strike was the Boston Police Strike in 1919 where over 75% of the police force walked off the job. Riots and looting occurred and the National Guard had to be called in. When they tried to return to work, the police commissioner refused to let them and said that they all should be fired. The governor of Massachusetts, Calvin Coolidge, agreed with him, saying that “ There is no right to strike against the public safety by anybody, anywhere, anytime. ” Shortly after the police strike ended, one of the largest strikes in America began when an estimated 350, 000 steel workers went on strike. Many of the workers. CENE were ME S immigrants. The head of U. S. Steel, decided to break the union by dividing it by. CRI anti-immigrant using PE feelings. They blamed the strike on the radical immigrants and brought in loyal Americans to work the E TA steel mills. Clashes were often violent and several deaths occurred. CEN ES CRIM TAPE
CR IME SCE NE CSI: INTOLERANCE TAP E CR IM The wave of strikes in 1919 helped to fuel fears that the Communists were conspiring to. E S a start CEN revolution in the United States. Americans had been stunned when Lenin and the Bolsheviks seized E power and withdrew Russia from World War I. Americans had become very anti-German during the war and when the Bolsheviks withdrew Russia from E war, it had seemed that they were aiding the TAP enemy, Germany. Americans began associating Communism with being unpatriotic and disloyal. NE TAP E CRI E E SC MU. S. , the fear that Communists or “reds” as they were commonly called, As strikes erupted across I CR the PE led to a nationwide panic called the “Red Scare. ” In April, the postal service might seize A E T power CEN intercepted some parcels addressed to important businessmen and politicians that were triggered to ME S explode when opened. In June, eight bombs exploded in eight different cities within minutes of each other, suggesting a nationwide conspiracy. One of them damaged the home of A. Mitchell Palmer, the Attorney-General of the United States. Most people believed that the Communists were behind the bombs and were trying to destroy the American way of life. Palmer established a special division, the General Intelligence Division, to investigate who was behind all the strikes and bombs. From late 1919 to early 1920, Palmer organized a series of raids on the headquarters of various radical organizations. He focused on foreign residents and immigrants, detaining thousands and deporting over 600. Americans often linked radicalism with immigrants, and that attitude led to a call for Congress to limit immigration. Adding to the tension were the hundreds of thousands of American soldiers from Europe who needed to find employment. Many African-Americans who had moved north during the war were competing for jobs and housing. Frustration and racism combined to produce violence. In the summer of 1919 race riots broke out in over 20 northern cities. The worst violence occurred in Chicago. As the 1920 s opened, a short economic recession, an influx of unskilled immigrants, and racial and cultural tensions, combined to create an atmosphere of disillusionment and intolerance. The experiences of Sacco and Vanzetti, exemplify the prejudices and fears of the period. At the forefront ENE E SC of the movement to restrict immigration was the Ku Klux Klan. The “new” Klan had new target, IM E CR Catholics, Jews, and immigrants. Any group they felt did not represent American values was suspect.
