Being Italian immigrants and anarchists made them most likely to be found guilty. In what way did this dread affect the Ku Klux Klan? Targeting Roman Catholics, Jews, union leaders, and people of color, they retaliated violently.
<h3>Sacco and Vanzetti were found guilty of what?</h3>
Murder and robbery, There was no fair trial for Sacco and Vanzetti. Sacco and Vanzetti were accused of murder and robbery at the South Braintree Slater and Morrill shoe factory.
Because they were both anarchists and immigrants from Italy, they were most likely to be found guilty. How did this fear affect the Ku Klux Klan's actions? They retaliated violently, focusing on Roman Catholics, Jews, union leaders, and people of color.
Many believed that prejudice against immigrants was the cause of their conviction.
"[The Sacco-Vanzetti case] displayed the complete anatomy of American life, with all its classes, professions, points of view, and all its relationships, and it highlighted practically every basic question of our democratic system," wrote critic Edmund Wilson in 1928.
