Answer is in the photo. I couldn't attach it here, but uploaded it to a file hosting. link below! Good Luck!

When U.S. soldiers returned home from World War I, many of them could

not find jobs. Instead, they found the country’s economy turning to

shambles. Some resented African Americans who had taken factory jobs to

keep the war machine running. At the same time, the cost of food,

clothing, and shelter skyrocketed, but wages could not keep up with costs.

A large number of workers had joined labor unions and held thousands of

strikes in protest. Unemployed workers rioted. Some strikes and riots

turned violent. Americans feared that outside forces were trying to bring

anarchy—a state of lawlessness and disorder—to the United States. They

blamed the Communists and Bolsheviks, called “Reds,” who had risen to

power in Russia, for sparking rebellion and chaos and trying to spread

radical socialism on U.S. soil. Strikes and riots were the first steps toward

revolution, they said. A “Red Scare” grew, and in June 1919 terrorists set

off bombs in eight cities. Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, whose house

was targeted, founded an agency that became the FBI. He ordered raids

on Russian and radical organizations, ignored civil liberties, and arrested

thousands. Though no proof of revolution from without was ever found,

hundreds of people born in other countries had been deported and

Americans came to associate immigrants with radicalism and disorder.
