Abstract
America’s first significant contact with communism occurred during the months immediately following World War I and was characterized by a predominant mood of intolerance and hysteria. During this period a small but influential group of Americans devoted their complete time and energy to combat radicalism and to promote 100 per cent Americanism. The National Security League was one of the most powerful spokesmen for these individuals. A study of the League is important in understanding how militant anti-radicalism emerged as a vital form of nativism during the Red Scare of 1919-1920.
