Answer 1

The general public responded to the threat of the influenza epidemic with widespread fear and public‑health measures (quarantines and mask wearing). It responded to the challenge of labor disputes with hostility toward unions and support for crackdowns (the Red Scare/strikebreaking). And to racial tensions with violence — lynchings and race riots.
