Mitchell Palmer, resulting in the arrest and deportation of many suspected communists and anarchists. The chapter also discusses the Sacco and Vanzetti case, highlighting the execution of two men amid controversy over their alleged crimes. Additionally, it explores the struggles of American workers demanding fair wages, and the explosive racial unrest that emerged as African Americans migrated north, culminating in violent riots.
