Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the Red Scare of 1919, Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer is most famously known for orchestrating the Palmer Raids, which involved the arrest and deportation of suspected radicals. However, the specific details provided in the options, such as overseeing the deportation of 6,000 people, founding the FBI, and arguing for moderation, are inaccurately attributed or oversimplified in the context of Palmer's actions and positions during the Red Scare. The FBI was actually founded in 1908, before Palmer's tenure, and while he did oversee raids that led to arrests and deportations, the number 6,000 is not accurately tied to his actions. His stance was more complex than simply arguing for moderation.
