Question

This is the name of the group in the House of Representatives that, in 1947, began hearings to expose communist infiltration in American life. Unfortunately, a good deal of the evidence they used was based on hearsay and conjecture, meaning innocent people were harmed by their findings.

Answer 1

House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC)

Step-by-step explanation:

During the Cold War, the fear of communist influence in the U.S. became known as the Red Scare. In response, the U.S. government created the HUAC in 1938 to investigate alleged disloyalty and rebel activities of citizens. However, in 1947, the HUAC committee began hearings that ruined many innocent people's lives. The fear of communist spread fueled the lack of accuracy in identifying real communist spies.
