Answer 1

The U.S. government and media spread fear after Pearl Harbor primarily through **using racist propaganda**. This involved portraying Japanese Americans and other groups as potential threats to national security, which contributed to widespread fear and suspicion among the public. Additionally, the media emphasized the need for vigilance against possible attacks, further inflating anxiety and paranoia in a climate of war.
