The Homestead Act (1862) granted land for former African slaves in Western U.S.
Also, they were not "African Americans". They were freed, but many were not Americans yet. They were Africans :)
Hope this helped.
A paper that talks about all of these topics could be titled "America's fear of communism, socialism, and anarchy after World War I."
All of the aforementioned events/people deal with fear felt by American citizens. For example, Sacco and Vanzetti were two Italian immigrants known for their political views. They believed in a society that had no government, also known as an anarchy. These two men were accused of, and later found guilty, of committing a murder. However, many individuals argued that they were found guilty not because of the evidence but rather the fact that they were anarchists.
The Palmer Raids were another result of fear towards a specific group. In this case, Attorney General Palmer raided the homes of 5,000 suspected communists. The goal was to uncover any plans to overthrow the American government. No evidence was found to support this conclusion.
<span>The merchants embraced
Islam, because it gave them a very important point of union with the
clients and partners who had this religion, facilitating trade in Muslim
towns. The monarchs, by belonging to Islam, in the same
way as merchants, took advantage of religion to lay the foundations of
alliances; and also because Islam taught them how they should be, and how to behave. <span>The
educators embraced Islam because the Muslims were in favor of
education, they supported it and that favored the support of schools and
teaching (including the study of Islam).</span></span>
