Question

Why did many Americans feel Sacco and Vanzetti where properly convicted for murder in 1921? Since the immigrants Sacco and Vanzetti were anarchists, they must be guilty. Too much evidence was found in Sacco and Vanzetti's apartment confirming their guilt. People felt Sacco and Vanzetti were guilty, as they were members of the Communist party. The attorney general went on the radio and convinced Americans of Sacco and Vanzetti's guilt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is A.

Sacco and Vanzetti were publicly known as anarchists. Anarchists are individuals who believe that society should not have any type of government. This type of idea is considered radical, as many associate individuals with these views as being threats to overthrowing the current government.

Along with their anarchists views, the fact that it was right after World War I did not help either. America was just going through its first "Red Scare" as individuals with political views that were different from traditional American views were being persecuted across the entire country. These two factors helped in leading to both men being found guilty of robbery and murder charges and ultimately both were executed.
