The U.S. After WW1

     
Some people were celebrating their victory after the war
After WW1 many Americans feared outsiders, immigrants, and communist. They thought if they were in isolation it will be the best idea. The Americans feared communism because that would give everyone the same amount of money so there would not be a difference between the working class and the elite. The U.S. went to the extreme of limiting immigration.
       With these fears the Americans turned Nativist and limited immigration. Nativist helped with the fears because they didn't wanted outsiders they thought "Let America for Americans". When they limited the immigration a lot of the opportunities immigrants had in the U.S. were harder to get.
       Americans related their fears to the League of Nations because they didn't want to care for others that are smaller in size and power. They didn't want collective security. 
Communist was one of the most feared ideas in the U.S
       Communist wanted the working class to rule the government. The money would be distributed evenly. There would be no difference between the working class and the elite.
