346 Words2 Pages

A Muslin friend and I were discussing the fear that some Americans feel when they encounter him. He was born in America and considers himself a good citizen. I have known him for years. After 9-11 he was not allowed to play outside when we were kids. His parents were afraid that he would be bullied or even assaulted because of the attack on the Twin Towers in New York, the Pentagon in Virginia, and the crashed airplane in Pennsylvania. After we talked I decided to research what happened during 9-11 and why along with other incidents that happened in the 1900’s. After World War I and the Russian Revolution, Americans across the country, became fearful of the “Reds”. This group of people were Communist Party members and soldiers of the Red Army.

From the 1880s and on, there was a “rapid expansion of factory production, mining, and railroad construction” (Foner 605). The expansion out west contributed to the expansion because companies were no longer limited to working either in the south or the New England area, and “a working free labor system” (Foner 571) established by the Freedman’s Bureau, an agency created during Reconstruction.
