PROBLEMS WITH HUAC?
WHAT IS HUAC?
HUAC did receive negative feedback.
They weren't very well liked because
of the way the committee was shown to
discriminate people against
their political beliefs.
They seemed to favorite
and let certain people
get away, like right-wing
extremists and Nazi supporters,
and mostly prosecute communists.
A committee that was created mainly to investigate communist activity, but also to control unacceptable actions, disloyalty, and other forms of wrong doing.
HEIGHTEN OR LESSEN FEAR?

HUAC mostly heightened
the fear during the Cold War.
It made Americans feel
distrustful & intimidated because of the
way HUAC performed its duties.
Celebrities that were called to testify for the committee, but refused because of fear of being too involved. The consequences resulted in them being "blacklisted", meaning they were run out from their places of entertainment, damaging reputations and ending careers.
