The Red Scare was a mixture of fear of communism and anarchists and socialists. the reason the Red Scare started was because as people immigrated from Russia the U.S. citizens feared that they would try to overthrow the government. During November 1919 and January 1920, a series of raids called the Palmer Raids occurred where the DOJ would go out and capture/arrest people who were said to be communist socialists or anarchists. Two men known as Sacco and Vanzetti were accused of robbery and murder because they showed socialist ideology there wasn't much evidence used against them except for the fact that they were Italian immigrants and they didn't enlist for the war. This case still serves a purpose today bu making sure people have a fair and honest jury and fair trials.
