The Red Scare
As the 20th century has come to a close, it is time for all of us to recognize the great events of our American history. Well as we reflect upon it, the United States became a world power, technology evolved in a rapid pace, and all sorts of boundaries were broken and new ones set for USA. When people generally reflect upon the United States revolutionary periods, they immediately think of the 1960's and 1970's, but one period of time that does not immediately approach the mind is the period after World War 1. In this duration of time, the populace, especially the youth started to revolutionize their life styles and did not do things for the sake of tradition. With jazz and other Dixie land trends spreading all over the United States America, the youth became much more rebellious and thought of better ways of running their lives and tried influencing their beliefs on others. One set of beliefs that failed to pass throughout the U.S. was the idea of USSR's government comm!unism. Communism was a type of government that supported the ideas of making everybody absolutely equal. This lead up to the Red Scare. The red scare was the period where America became afraid of the practice of a Communism after
Mitchel Palmer, was waken up by the explosion on his door steps. It struck for the first time from 1919 - 1921. The first restriction on the people entering the Unions was passed in 1947 by the Congress and was called Taft - Hartley act one of the provisions of which stated that before entering a Union worker must swear that he is not and was not a communist. He went before the Congress and begged to increase the funding for Department of Justice to deal with the sudden crises. Also no legislation regarding communism was passed by the congress at that time, so workers in the Unions could actually be communists and it would be !legal and OK. After it emerged that the bombs have exploded on the doorsteps of other high-ranking government officials in at least 8 more cities, the first red scare began throughout the country. The bomber probably tripped over something and blew up himself. Big labor union were also around (Knights of Labor - 1869 and AF of L - 1881), which wanted better work conditions, higher wages and smaller work day. Mitchel Palmer wanted to create a special task force that would stop the terror which swept through America. However it made the !way for other events just like described above. The next day's New York Times newspaper reported that the attack was Bolshevik or W. Industries that were working for the war had to change their products to meet piece time demands and that costed a lot of money. The head of newly formed Anti-Radical Division (organization that was suppose to dial with terror) was appointed John Edgar Hoover.
