Sacco and Vanzetti Trial Two Italian immigrants convicted of robbery and murder Believed the robbery was to obtain funds for anarchist revolution Even though there was a lack of evidence, the judge found them guilty and executed them. Many believed they were executed for their anarchist beliefs

The Red Scare, anarchist bombings and Sacco and Vanzetti case led to the rise in Nativism- dislike of foreigners. Migrations of African Americans to the North led to racial tensions and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan.
