Hat was the purpose of the Palmer Raids?
The passionate pitch of World War I didn't decrease with the peace negotiation, and wild swelling, joblessness, enormous and fierce strikes, and ruthless race revolts in the United States added to a feeling of dread and premonition in 1919. A mail bomb plot, comprising of 36 unstable bundles intended to go off on May Day, 1919, set off a grave dread that a Bolshevik scheme looked for the oust of the United States. On June 2, 1919, a moment arrangement of bombings occurred, annihilating Palmer's home and prompting expanded open weight for activity against the radical instigators.

Palmer was a latecomer to the anticommunist cause and had a background marked by supporting common freedoms. Notwithstanding, he was driven to get the Democratic selection for the administration in 1920 and trusted that he could set up himself as the lawfulness competitor.  

On November 7, 1919 (the second commemoration of the Bolshevik takeover of Russia), U.S. government and neighborhood specialists attacked the base camp of the Union of Russian Workers in New York City and captured in excess of 200 people. On November 25 a moment attack on the Union of Russian Workers base camp divulged a false divider and a bomb industrial facility, affirming doubts that the association harbored progressive aims.

On January 2, 1920, the most staggering of the Palmer Raids occurred, when a huge number of people (gauges change in the vicinity of 3,000 and 10,000) were captured in excess of 30 urban areas. The next day, government, state, and nearby operators led additionally strikes. In all the Palmer Raids, captures significantly surpassed the quantity of warrants that had been gotten from the courts, and a considerable lot of those captured were blameworthy of simply having an outside highlight.

Palmer proclaimed the assaults a win yet reported that the work was a long way from done. He guaranteed that there were still in excess of 300,000 risky communists inside the United States. Nearby experts did not have the offices to hold the arrestees from the January assaults, and Palmer sent an expansive number of associated radicals to the Bureau with Immigration for expelling. Acting Secretary of Labor Louis Post, be that as it may, did not share Palmer's dread of radical outsiders and turned around in excess of 70 percent of the 1,600 extradition warrants.
