Contrary to popular belief, anti-Semitism in the U.S. was not uncommon. Similar to Anti-Semitism in other countries, Jews were still being used as scapegoats to cure the ails of society. Hate groups were formed, and discrimination was practiced. Although Jews made attempts to assimilate themselves into society, anti-Semitic views were still a part of the American psyche.
