Question 2 • US History

The Haymarket Riot of 1886 had a major influence on American attitudes toward which of these?

Answer
A
the Sedition Act
B
World War I
C
anarchists
D
the draft

Explanation

The Haymarket Riot took place during a labor protest in Chicago in 1886, when a bomb killed police officers and civilians. Public suspicion and fear grew toward anarchists, who were associated with radical labor movements. The riot therefore influenced American attitudes toward anarchists, not the Sedition Act, World War I, or the draft.
