Answer 1

The Sacco-Vanzetti case highlighted a growing sense of fear and anxiety over rising immigration in American society during the 1920s. The trial and execution of the Italian anarchists, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, reflected widespread nativism and discrimination against immigrants, along with concerns about radical political movements associated with them.
