5. (Sourcing) Newspapers frequently ran articles about anarchists and the threats posed by "radicals" in 1919 and 1920. Why might newspapers be interested in

running these kinds of stories? How might this have influenced the Palmer

Raids?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Newspapers frequently ran articles about anarchists and the threats posed by "radicals" in 1919 and 1920. The newspapers were interested in running these kinds of stories because these are sensationalists newspapers that love to create more drama and fear with their stories. The more drama the more people wanted to buy the newspaper to read the news. That has been one of the unofficial precepts of "Yellow Journalism," or sensationalistic news: caught people´s attention through drama.

How might this have influenced the Palmer Raids?

Heavily. That kind of news coverage generated fear in American citizens who were scared about the presence of anarchists and communists in the United States.

The main effect of the Palmer Raids was that they brought about the end of the red scare by clearing several supposed radicals. US President Woodrow Wilson ordered Attorney General Michael Palmer to execute the Palmer Raids to imprison anarchists and communists.

well it depends i think people around the world are coming around to gay marriage. but if you are talking abortion then wow, so much to talk about. such as men thinking they have the right to choose if women can, the fact there are health concerns if the women can't get one, and many more arguments to discuss. so i would definitely say abortion would be a much more interesting topic.
