Answer 1

The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) primarily searched for communist supporters within the U.S. It was established in 1938 to investigate alleged disloyalty and subversive activities by individuals and organizations suspected of having communist ties. The committee held hearings and conducted investigations, especially during the Red Scare periods, aiming to expose and root out communism and other perceived threats to American democracy.
