The post-World War I red scare fueled antiradical sentiment, but the postwar recession was also an important force in shaping American public opinion against radicals at the time (Robbins 179). The trial was presided over by Judge Webster Thayer who had served a number of years as a moderately successful lawyer before taking the bench (Neville 27)
In this regard, Warren reports that, "An editorial cartoon on the front page of one French newspaper portrayed the Statue of Liberty holding an electric chair aloft, while another showed Uncle Sam trying to remove bloodstains from the American flag" (310). The fundamental injustices that marked the Sacco and Vanzetti trial resulted in a 1959 hearing before the Massachusetts Joint Judiciary Committee that heard a resolution to the governor to grant both men a posthumous pardon (Rizzo 120)
Civil Liberty? The Trial of Sacco and Vanzetti During the height of the first so-called "red scare" in the United States from 1919 to 1920, two Italian anarchist immigrants, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, were charged and tried for murder but the evidence against them was spurious (Robbins 178)
For instance, Warren notes that, "Tanks and troops cordoned off the United States Embassy in Paris to protect it from rioters; in Geneva, demonstrators roamed the city destroying everything American, even attacking theaters showing Hollywood films" (309). Demonstrations against the United States in many countries turned into riots and hundreds were injured or arrested in the process (Warren 310)
Therefore, it is important to seek therapy in order for these long-buried wounds to surface so that the healing process can begin (Kader pp). Even if a miscarriage occurs just days after a positive pregnancy test, the reaction can include a wide spectrum of emotions, for although a woman and/or couple are mourning a baby that was never born, the daydreams about the baby and what kind of parents they would be were well under way (Goff pp)
¶ … Miscarriage The impact of a miscarriage can be great, largely due to the fact that the reality of death before birth tends to be an affront to society's beliefs and expectations regarding the cycle of life (Kader pp)
And even with today's medical technology, at least half of all miscarriages, especially those that occur during the first trimester, remain a mystery (Goff pp). Most people do not understand the depth of mourning that many women and couples go through and how long recovery may take (Ponte pp)
Many have hypothesized that the "conspiracy of silence' that often occurs among health professionals, family and friends following miscarriage may exacerbate and prolong the depression (Depressive pp). A new social movement has arisen during the past twenty-five years, that encourages couples, in particular women, to speak out concerning their grief following miscarriage, resulting in greater public attention, such as articles about miscarriage no longer being confined to women's and health magazines, but are actually appearing in national mainstream news magazines and newspapers, and such coverage indicates the success of both the women's health and pregnancy-loss movements (Reagan pp)
