One factor that led to the postwar Red Scare was the fear after World War I that anarchy would take over the United States. The same thing happened after World War II. Only then, the people of the United States feared that Communism would take over.

The Red Scare led to McCarthyism where ordinary citizens could be blacklisted, or prevented from getting a job, if they were suspected of being a communist.

The events that led tot he "Red Scare" involved strikes that erupted across the US in 191 which in turn caused fear that communists or "reds" might seize power.
Immigration Restrictions The Red Scare was one factor that led to new restrictions on immigration. Other factors were two ideas that grew strong in America in the 1920s. One of the ideas was that people born in America were superior to immigrants. The other was that America should keep its traditional culture intact. Anti-immigrant, anti-Jewish, and antiCatholic sentiments contributed to the popularity of a revived Ku Klux Klan, not just in the South but throughout the nation. Ultimately, this conservative reaction against immigrants resulted in the passage of legislation that set limits on the number of immigrants who could come from each country.
