History - Discuss an America entering and becoming

History

This week’s readings and resources discuss an America entering and becoming an important player on the world stage. During Wilson’s two terms, Americans experienced war, the Russian Revolution, and the Red Scare at home. How did war and the Russian revolution raise fears of internal subversion and promote the suppression of dissent in America? 

Discuss the actions by the government to enforce patriotism as well as the Red Scare and the subsequent actions taken by the government to secure America’s safety.
