Explanation:

The Red Summer of 1919 refers to the riots of racial character that occurred in more than thirty cities in the United States during the summer and early autumn of 1919. In most cases the disturbances were due to the fact that White ethnic group attacked African-Americans. In some cases, the population of African Americans responded strongly to the attacks, especially in Chicago, where, along with Washington DC and Elaine (Arkansas), the highest number of fatalities occurred. The unrest took place in the postwar period, motivated by the demobilization of the veterans of the First World War, both black and white, and competition in the labor market between the two ethnic groups. As a result of the African American response, many members of the federal government accused them of being sympathizers with Communism, as they linked their mobilizations with the Russian Revolution of 1917.
