Attacks on Civil Liberties

Specific Objective: Analyze the international and domestic events, interests, and philosophies that prompted attacks on civil liberties, including the Palmer Raids, Marcus Garvey’s “back-to- Africa” movement, the Ku Klux Klan, and immigration quotas. Analyze the responses of organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and the Anti- Defamation League to those attacks.

Civil Rights Under Attack Labor Unions-During World War I, workers rights were suppressed. In the 1920s, steelworkers, police, and others went on strike for better pay and working conditions. Owners blamed strikes on “Reds”, or communist, and used force to stop them. Many strikers were killed or injured. Palmer Raids-Attorney General Palmer and others feared there was a conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. government. He ordered raids in which thousands of suspected communists, socialists, and anarchists were arrested. Many opposed the government but hadn’t violated any laws. Many were deported without trial.

Immigration Quotas-There was a huge surge in immigration right after World War I. Nativist fears of jobs competition along with racist attitudes led to a quota system. Laws limited immigration from Europe and prohibited it from Japan. Ku Klux Klan-Originally formed during Reconstruction, te Ku Klux Klan was organized again in the wake of the Red Scare and anti-immigrant feelings. It attacked African Americans, Jews, immigrants, and Catholics.

Fighting for Civil Rights ACLU-The American Civil Liberties Union was founded in 1920 to defend constitutional rights. It fought against the Palmer raids and supplied lawyers in support of Sacco and Vanzetti. It supported the rights of labor unions and citizens who were critical of the government. NAACP-The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was founded in 1910 to protest racial violence. It worked for the passage of anti-lynching laws. Marcus Garvey-A native of Jamaica, Garvey took a more radical approach than the NAACP, focused on black pride.
