Answer:The correct answer is B. The Palmer Raids were seen as a violation against civil liberties because people were denied their right to free speech.Explanation:The Palmer Raids were a wave of persecution in the against American citizens and immigrants, who were placed under a communist and socialist attitude, that occurred from 1918 to 1921. The Palmer Raids were named after Alexander Mitchell Palmer, the Attorney General under Woodrow Wilson. Palmer was convinced that "communism ate into the homes of American workers" and that the socialists were responsible for most of the country's social problems. The immediate trigger of the dissensus was the October Revolution of 1917 in the Russian Empire.  During this persecution, more than 10,000 people were arrested, accused of being Communists, and many of them were deported (as they were immigrants).
