People feared that anarchism and Communism could challenge the American Way.

That is why the US Department of Justice conducted the Palmer Raids of 1919, to arrest and deport Communists that could threaten the stability of the US. The same happened when Wisconsin Republican Senator, Joseph McCarthy accused that federal government officials and members of the military had ties with Communists groups, in what was known as the McCarthyism, in the 1940s.
