Red Scare: The Trial of Scott Nearing and The American Socialist Society

0/5 ( ratings)

During the First World War, the US went through a wave of anti-foreigner and anti-communist hysteria, and passed draconian Espionage and Sedition laws making it illegal to criticize the government's war efforts or oppose the war. In a sweeping series of national police actions in 1918-1919 known as the "Palmer Raids", thousands of socialists, union organizers, IWWs and pacifist antiwar activists were rounded up and tried for sedition. The "Red Scare" was one of the largest suppressions of political dissent in American history. This volume, based on court transcripts, gives the history of one of these cases--that of college professor Scott Nearing. He was one of the few who was acquitted of sedition, on First Amendment grounds.
