    Introduction & Thesis

    The Red Summer Riots of 1919 refers to the hot summers of the mentioned year when minor

    racial tensions between White and Black Americans turned into riots and violence. The incident

    is marked by several conflicts including bloodshed in different states of America. The incident

    just happened when the American soldiers came back home after the First World War and found

    another bloody violence waiting for them at home. This journal argues that the Red Summer riots

    of 1919 has a significant connection to the end of the first World war, where post-war factors

    contributed to the initiation of riots. This paper also aims to explore the four major groups, racial,

    military, laborer, and political groups causing the riots and serving in racial tension. It is also

    discussed that trivial incidents and racial tensions have turned into massive violence.
