I havent opened it yet but the book American Midnight came highly highly recommended, which covers this time period & this event. A power hungry intolerant federal government mandating War-fervor & jingoism, suppressing all outside voices (largely liberal & progressive), clamping down on how people think & what they say. passing the Sedition Act & charging many under these wartime powers, before it's repeal. This book supposedly makes quite the case for this being one of thr darkest times in America. Excited scared/sad to start reading it.
