The Sacco-Vanzetti case highlighted a growing sense of fear and anxiety over rising immigration in American society in the 1920s. The case involved two Italian immigrants who were charged with murder, and their trial became a symbol of the anti-immigrant sentiment and the prejudices against foreigners during that era. Many believed that they were convicted not just for the crime they were accused of, but also because of their immigrant status and anarchist beliefs, reflecting broader societal tensions regarding immigration and national identity at the time.
