The Red Scare - 1920's Project

[Jessica]

For American History class, we have to create a movie poster, front page of a newspaper, magazine cover, or concert/performance flyer, etc about the 1920's. I chose to create a front page of a newspaper. I need to include a minimum of seven historical facts and at least one picture.


My topic is about the Red Scare.

This project is due tomorrow so please check it today! I want to get a 20/20 on this project! I have American history first period!

here are my facts....please check if they are OK. Thanks!



THE RED SCARE

Russian Revolution caused worry in America
Bolshevik, anarchist, communist, & red - described people who were perceived as a threat
series of bombing, bomb scares contributed to radical political activity by foreign agitators
Recent immigrants from Europe: most active Communists & anarchists
Xenophobia, fear and hatred of foreigners spreads
Part of a plot by radical elements to overthrow government were bombings & attempted bombings
Communists Parties had fewer than 40,000 members, many Americans however suspected that Reds were everywhere

Yes, your poster illustrates xenophobia well,and it looks like it's from that decade. I didn't know there was much of a red scare in the 20's, but I guess it had something to do with the establishment of labor unions and the bloodiness of the Russian revolution.

^Sí, no creo que El Susto Rojo acaera en la 20s. Tal vez la iniciacíon de la 20s, aunque.
