>>BTW - during the 1920's, there was a strong anti-immigration backlash in the US, and there were very stringent quotas put on immigration. It was to protect "American values." << Thoughts that occur to me: --the principal base of US ethnicity then was German. Was there something in the cultural nature of Germans that leans fascist? --The Communist revolution and the labor movement & anarchists all were a threat to the capitalistic power bases of the robber barons and elites of that era. Could they have had undue influence over the media and the status quo bodies (prosecutors, courts, etc) that helped foster the anti-'Other' sentiments?
