Overview on the Sacco-Vanzetti Trial
The Sacco-Vanzetti was a lawsuit that tried two Italians who were convicted of robbery and murder at the South Braintree, Massachusetts. Issues and controversies surrounded the Sacco-Vanzetti case, most of which supports the two Italians and accuses the political condition during that time.It was during the Post World War I that the Sacco-Vanzetti case happened and during that time crimes are not uncommon. However, it was also during the Post World War I when the political condition of America was unstable. Non-supporters of the government, such as the political critics and anarchists, were confronted by the law and were similarly jailed. It had been a controversy saying that Sacco and Vanzetti, being known as anarchists and were always involved in labor strikes and movements that expose social problems caused by the government at that time, were convicted of a crime that they did not commit due to political reasons. As indicated in an article written by Robert d'Attilio, On the night of their arrest, authorities found in Sacco's pocket a draft of a handbill for an anarchist meeting that featured Vanzetti as the main speaker.

Aside from being radicals, the second element that provided an impact in the recording and interpretation of the Sacco-Vanzetti case, was the reality that both Sacco and Vanzetti were foreign-born. Foreign-born radicals during the Post World War 1 were posted with oppression by the American government. Hostilities toward the immigrants were in the air at that time. Hence, because Sacco and Vanzetti were Italians, this fact was among the factors that made political analysts, writers, and critics of government, believe that Sacco and Vanzetti received injustice from the court. As an example that was mentioned previously, another Italian comrade of Sacco and Vanzetti was hurled into his death while being in the custody of the Department of Justice (D'Attillo, 2004). Racism had been among the many issues relating to
