The Palmer Raids
In this photo we see that the big man carrying a chain of men is Palmer. The scene here is of the Palmer Raid that occured when people were scared of the Red Scare. The Red Scare was the fear of communism and the possibility that they were going to come over to America and take over. In order to calm the people, both Palmer and Hoover teamed up to make searches of people who could possibly be communists. This became known as the Palmer Raids and the result of these raids were the bombing of Wall Street and palmer's House.
The bomb in the picture and the people screaming are examples of the chaos during this time period. People can see some tiny men with the magnifying glass trying to search for communists people while others are capturing them in a net. It's easy to say that many people who had a foreign native heritage were scared from all this chaos and commotion.
