<P> Following the end of the war , the Wilson administration was plagued with numerous problems such as : 1 ) the large support against President Wilson 's support for US membership into the League of Nations ( which was regarded by the American public as an organization that could have introduced a German - American relationship ) - ; 2 ) the massive Steel Strike of 1919 3 ) race riots , and 4 ) the growing support among the American public , who now feared Communists would infiltrate the country , to reduce immigration . As a result , the Republican party would obtain a firmer majority control of both Congressional houses , in the 1920 congressional election , and score a heavy win the 1920 US Presidential Election as well ; Republican Presidential candidate Warren Harding , a pro-laissez faire conservative , would also receive a record - breaking percent of the popular vote as well . However , the Harding administration could not bring the economy back to normal . Although the Republicans were able to retain control of both houses of Congress , the conservative Republicans ( whom Harding backed ) would suffer major losses . </P>
