No, I do not think that the Americans were justified in there fear of radicals and foreigners fallowing world war 1. Many people were suffering after the war because no more war supples needed to produced and so the economy was not as big which meant it was yielding less jobs. This was made even worse by the fact of all the soilders that were know returning home looking for work who needed work and could not afford to lose jobs to foreign workers. This along with Russia declaring to spread communism lead to much irrational fear of foreigners leading to such acts to try and keep "America for America" like the quota system that established the maximum number of immigrants that could enter from a nation into our country. Then there was the Americans fear of radical groups with in America such as communism and the KKK. These groups did not completely justify American fear. Especially in the case of the communism red scare, where people would fear acts from communism groups like mailed bombs, even though it tuned out that these bombs might not have even been sent by communist groups. Then there was the fact that peoples fear lead to the Palmer Raids, witch were unjust because Palmer was a hopeful for running for president and he was probably only having these raids of "suspected" communists to try and gain public support, peoples fear was irrational because they found very little to fear and only ended up breaking a lot of peoples civil rights.
