Preferred term

Palmer raids  

Definition

  • The emotional pitch of World War I did not abate with the armistice. Dislocation caused by a return to the peacetime economy, rampant inflation, unemployment, massive and violent strikes, exaggerated and hysterical headlines, and brutal race riots contributed to a sense of fear and foreboding in 1919. [Source: Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice; Palmer Raids]
