Which of the following resulted from the Palmer Raids of 1919 and 1920?

Answer
A
the rise of the Communist Party in the United States
B
the formation of the American Civil Liberties Union
C
the election of Alexander Palmer to the presidency
D
the outbreak of an anarchist revolution in Russia

Explanation

The Palmer Raids involved mass arrests and deportations of suspected radicals, often with little regard for civil liberties. In response, activists formed the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in 1920 to defend people’s rights. The raids did not cause the Communist Party’s rise, Palmer never became president, and the Russian Revolution had already occurred.
