In 1920, Sacco and Vanzetti were both convicted of murdering a guard and paymaster during an armed robbery of the Slater and Morrill Shoe Company. Authorities failed to conduct evidence linking them to the robbery and the murder of the postmaster. All appeals were denied by Judge Thayer.

...The case of Sacco and Vanzetti, two Italian anarchists took place in 1920. They were “falsely” convicted of robbing a paymaster and killing the guard. They bonded over their ideal of anarchism and used violence to fight against violent and unjust governments. Their case caused extreme tension between immigrants and the American people. Thousands of people around the world were devastated by this case and began to insist against the government. Although their innocence was supported by many people, Sacco and Vanzetti were executed off of deceptive evidence. This increased the amount of hatred Italian immigrants had against Americans. Sacco and Vanzetti were both involved in normal workplace. Nicola Sacco was a 32-year-old shoemaker and Bartolomeo Vanzetti was a 29-year-old fish peddler. Both of the men had seemed to be extremely distant and antisocial. “They were among the many immigrants living in poverty who, fed up with what they saw as the exploitation of workers in the capitalist system in the U.S., were drawn to the meetings of anarchists who thought that the solution was to overthrow the government and start from...

...The murder case against Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti is one of the most controversial court cases in American history. It is a case that was followed by millions of people around the world and in turn also raised fundamental questions about the civil liberties and rights of immigrants both in the nineteen twenties and today (( A.H.F. ) Nicola Sacco an Bartolomeo Vanzetti). The case often reflects the United States’ fear and inwardness of the nineteen twenties, the occurring so called “Red Scare”, and the deportation of many innocent immigrants in the United States (( A.H.F. ) Nicola Sacco an Bartolomeo Vanzetti). Throughout the documentary the audience is presented with a non objective view of the case. Many of the commentators are friends or family of Sacco and Vanzetti presenting a bias toward them, while others are, although they are not related, still bias to Sacco and Vanzetti stating that what happened to them was indeed immoral. Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were both young Italian immigrants to the United States. Both men were of a caring nature, the young Vanzetti would care for his mother when she was ill and, once he was older and in America, he cared for sick kitten. On the contrary, Sacco cared for those less fortunate than he, stating after he had arrived in...

...Sacco and Vanzetti On April 15, 1920, Frederick Parmenter, a paymaster, and Alessandro Berardelli, his assistant, were transporting the payroll when a man approached, robbed, and shot them in South Braintree, Massachusetts. Stolen was approximately $15,000 and both men died. Only a few months prior, in the nearby town of Braintree, had a similar heist occurred where the attempted robbery had failed. The failed Braintree job had pointed towards an Italian anarchist. The Bridgewater Police Chief felt that these two cases were connected. Later, Nicolas Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti came to pick up the car of the, then suspected anarchist, Mike Boda, from a local garage (Davidson & Lytle, 2005, p. 262). They were then the primary targets of the investigation thereafter. This case would become an international dilemma of American injustice. Both men protested against governments with anarchists’ views. They...

...Chapter 11, Sacco and Vanzetti, in the textbook, After the Fact, covers after world war I, and armed robberies that accrued in December 1919 in the states of Massachusetts for the slater and Morril shoe company near the South Braintree. Alessandro Berardelli got shot and was on the street dead due to the amount of money he contained that was about $15, 776.51. Bridge water police chief Michael Stewart had suspects in mind of previous crimes. Michael suspected an Italian anarchist named Mike Boda, who began to watch him. On May 1920 he had arrested the two foreigners Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti who became the controversial episodes in the American History. Nor did the controversy end with the Jury’s decision. Yet in 1927, Judge Webster...

...and Devlin only saw a man leaning out of his car from a distance of over 70 feet. None of the witnesses identified Sacco until well after his arrest.The witnesses were not required to pick Sacco out a line-up. Several of the closest witnesses to the crime were not able to identify Sacco. I feel like the Defendants Lawyer did make it a point that Sacco and Vanzetti were innocent and were accused of it because of Italian-Prejudice and i also believe that the judge of the case was bias to Italians. I like how the Defendants Lawyer got “Witnesses” up on the podium so they can talk in front of the jury on how they supposedly seen Sacco lean out of the car and shoot the security guard but they were 70 feet away from the scene. I also feel like the Police seen Sacco around the corner from the scene and seen that he was Italian so they arrested him, Therefore I believe Sacco And Vanzetti were not guilty I feel like the trail was such a big deal because at the time there was so much hatred for italians and judges didn't want them in their state and i feel like thats a big reason why they were found guilty and sentenced to death by the electric chair, which took place on August 27, 1927. Social and Political believes that fueled the trial were that they didn't want to believe in anarchism and thats what they thought Sacco and Vanzetti were. They also were Racist to Sacco And Vanzetti because they were italian and they did not like italians, they were also both illegal immigrants. In the...

...Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were two Italian immigrants who on April 15, 1920 were accused of armed robbery of the payroll at a shoe factory, and the murder of the guard and paymaster who were on duty. On July 14, 1921 the jury declared them guilty of both crimes one was stealing the money and the second was the double homicide. On August 23, 1927 the two men were sent to be killed and right after their death, people decided to further investigate their case. There are many arguments weather these two men are innocent or guilty and there are two views on the matter. There are traditionalist views and there are revisionist views. There have been a number of reasons as to why these men could possibly be guilty or they could possibly...

...society in more than one way. While there were good changes in society such as the nation's wealth doubling in size, there were also horrible events that happened, too. Some of those events that occurred were the Red Scare, the Palmer Raids, and the Sacco and Vanzetti case each impacting society in a negative way. During this time, many Americans were scared after World War 1 thinking that new immigrants would come bringing Communism with them. The Red Scare is a time in American history where people were fearful of immigrants who accepted communist, socialist, and anarchist ideas, but they were especially fearful of communism. The reason for this is because they feared that their way of living would be destroyed and freedoms would be taken away. Also, because in Russia the communists had taken over and killed the royal family in the process, so Americans did not want that to happen to them either. Another contributing factor to the Red...

...Dorothy: I totally agree humility is important in the creation of communion. Yet, I think communion can also be formed through the marginalized. I am sure both of you remember this, but an impactful event in my life was the execution of Italian Catholic Radicals, Sacco and Vanzetti. More than likely, these two men were innocent and this horrified myself and a lot of the country. Yet, Sacco’s and Vanzetti’s death symbolized a much bigger picture in the United States. They represented all the people who were influenced by injustices in the world. I remember how “all [of] the nation mourned. All the nation, that is, that is made up of the poor, the worker, the trade unionist- those who felt most keenly the sense of solidarity- that very sense...

Many years of struggle to save Sacco and Vanzetti from wrong conviction. Many observers in the...

...(Sources: Antony (2009); Gitau (2009)) CHAPTER TWO 2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 Introduction The chapter analyzed the literature related to Sacco’s in Kenya. It briefly established the background of the Co-operative Movement market environment in which Afya Sacco Society operates and the impact of those factors that influenced on its financial capacity in service delivery. Here are some of the selected factors that were found to impact on the financial capacity of Saccos and investigated; poor corporate governance, innovation and technology, dwindling membership, competition from mainstream banks and government policies. 2.2 Theoretical background Customer retention and customer retention marketing are key components in maintaining a profitable business. The goal of customer retention marketing is to convert first-time or occasional buyers into loyal, long term customers. And to accomplish this, a business needs to understand what it is that converts the occasional or first-time buyer into a loyal customer. Through customer retention marketing, businesses are able to uncover what it is that makes this conversion happen. Customer retention marketing is more than just an important consideration; it is often the difference between loyalty and defection. Businesses and in this case Afya must have the most up-to-date and useful information on customer retention marketing (Duggan 2006). For any organization to compete favorable it must constantly...
