Here is a link to a newspaper article about the plot. []

Others targeted were important government officials, a general had his house partially blown up by an Italian immigrants,Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. Here is a primary source document of Sacco during their trial. []

After the bomb plot all foreigners were automatically supposed as communists. This led to many foreigners paticipating in labor strikes. The name of the man whose house was partially was named General A. Mitchel Palmer. For him the Palmer Raids were named after. The Palmer Raids was a period of time where, led by J Edgar Hoover,what is now the FBI, became suspicious of all immigrants to the United States. They arrested all and anybody they even slightly thought was a communist or even a socialist. Between 4,000 and 10,000 people were arrested and, or deported, however less than six hundred of the deportations were justified.

The Red Scare effected immigrartion by preventing many who wished to be in the United states but had seperate political beliefs or even preventing those foreigners with the same political beliefs from residing in the United States.

The Ku Klux Klan is a group of white protestants who oppose all and everything foreign, including Catholicism. The KKK was primarily an anti-negro association but, the changed their outlook. In 1924 the KKK had more than four million members due to happenings like the Red Scare boosting the want of no foreigners membership increased greatly. Due to their violence their membershp fell from millions to thousands later on in.

Here is a link to a video a bout the KKK( post war intolerance) [] The KKK promoted the murder and cruelty of those who were foreign and who did not share ones beliefs, setting behind immigration, especially of many non Protestants. Both the KKK and the Red Scare helped immigration by prompting government to protecting the immigrants much more than before.
