Both men were involved with a direct-action anarchist movement, the same group that was later blamed for the Wall Street bombing while they were in jail. But there was little to say they had carried out the armed robbery, writes Temkin, who does not believe it is likely that the pair were guilty. What is certain is that the two defendants certainly looked guilty in the court room, he writes. Both men had been in America for over a decade, Temkin writes, but they had limited English.
Their foreignness—at a time when anti-Italian racism was at a high—and their political leanings were used against them:. During their trial, Sacco and Vanzetti were seated in a barred metal cage in the center of the court, a constant reminder of the supposed menace they presented to respectable American society.
The prosecution could not even show that the two men possessed any of the money from the robbery. When the war finally ended, a new threat came to rise in the form of fear of communism reaching United States soil, or in other words The First Red Scare. In , Russia established a communist government because of the Bolshevik revolution and the Red Terror. As a result of the Red Scare, many foreign, radical , and anarchist publications were disrupted.
The actions of the government angered many anarchists, and as a response they set up a series of bombings in Later on a surge of even more devastating bombings surfaced. In , a powerful bomb containing pounds of dynamite and pounds of fragmented steel exploded in front of the offices of the J.
Morgan Company, killing 38 people and injuring innocent lives. The bombs endangered a wide list of official targets, which were all traced back to militant followers of the Italian anarchist Luigi Galleani. Luigi Galleani was one of the many prominent figures of the s, next to gangster Al Capone, Saceo and Vanzeatti, and Langston Hughes.
During the Red Scare phenomenon, many publications were disrupted, as well as Galleani's Cronaca Sovversiva, which advocated the overthrow of the government, and advertisement the booklet Health is in you! Which concealed instructions on how to make a bomb. Luigi Galleani attracted many militant followers with his beliefs, whom were titled Galleanists, and were the ones held accountable for the bombings.
Two galleanists Sacco and Vanzetti, sparked a united states controversy, which exposed the country's fear of anarchism. These men were put on trial for murder and were executed, but this is now seen as unfair and unjustifiable. There were many gangsters that were prominent during this decade, especially because of the speakeasies. Al Capone was the most powerful gang leader in the s. Capone made a fortune for manufacturing and selling illegal booze to the speakeasies.
