Well, fear is created when there is a threat. WW2 Had just ended, so of course America did not want any other nation to become more powerful than them, for the idea that it would end up being like Germany. Americans also wanted to protect democracy, so communism was a major threat to the USA and it's beliefs. Naturally, America wanted to prove dominance to the USSR, thus the beginning of the cold war.
In the 1930s, as a reply to the increasing agitation in Europe and Asia that would eventually lead to World War II, the United States Congress passed the Neutrality Acts. These were impelled by the growing isolationism and non-interventionism policy that followed the expensive involvement in World War I and aimed to guarantee that the country would not become compromised over foreign conflicts again.
In 1941 the Neutrality Acts were widely repealed. The Lend-Lease policy aimed to defeat Germany, Japan, and Italy by distributing supplies between 1941 and 1945 put an end to the United States' pretense of neutrality.

4. Immigrants left Ellis Island within hours; immigrants often remained at Angel Island for weeks.
Angel Island Immigration Station was located in the San Francisco Bay, and it operated from 1910-1940. Immigrants entering the United States here were detained and interrogated. Most immigrants were from China, Japan, India, the Phillipines and Mexico. The length of time they were detained for could often last for months. This was very different from Ellis Island, where the regulation was much more relaxed, and often lasted only hours.
