Answer 1
Answer: As the United States became more urban, tension increased between rural and urban Americans. White Protestants feared that successful Catholics and Jews, as well as blacks, were threatening their way of life. The Ku Klux Klan arose to control these groups. Unlike the Klan during Reconstruction, the new Klan gained significance outside, as well as inside, the South. After gaining considerable political power in some states, after 1924 the influence of the Klan declined.
Answer 2
Answer: Native-born white Americans tended to view immigrants as a threat to the traditional American way of life. This fear fueled the Red Scare and brought demands for conviction of Sacco and Vanzetti for murder, largely because of their belief in anarchy. For the first time in its history, the United States imposed major restrictions on immigration, structuring the laws to encourage migration of those most like the white Protestants who had dominated American society before the Civil War. Mexican immigrants faced exploitation and discrimination.
Answer 3
Answer: Many Americans came to believe after World War I that communism represented a real threat to the American way of life. When workers struck for higher wages, their protests were often interpreted as communist-inspired. The attorney general, A. Mitchell Palmer, launched a series of raids, in the process often violating the civil rights of the accused, to deport communists from the United States.
