Answer:
If someone refused to answer questions asked by the House Un-American Activities Committee, he could be accused of being a communist.
Explanation:
The House Un-American Activities Committee was active between 1934 and 1975. This committee, whose activities accelerated especially in the 1950s, investigated many American artists and intellectuals. In 1969, the name of the Committee was changed to "House Committee on Internal Security", and in 1975 it was ceased.
Many prominent artists such as Albert Einstein, Hanns Eisler, Orson Welles and Jules Dassin were investigated, suspected on being communists, or even worse, Soviet spies.
The first and most important point is that the Civil War was expensive. In 1860 the U.S. national debt was $65 million. To put that in perspective, the national debt in 1789, the year George Washington took office, was $77 million. In other words, from 1789 to 1860, the United States spanned the continent, fought two major wars, and began its industrial growth—all the while reducing its national debt.We had limited government, few federal expenses, and low taxes. In 1860, on the eve of war, almost all federal revenue derived from the tariff. We had no income tax, no estate tax, and no excise taxes. Even the hated whiskey tax was gone. We had seemingly fulfilled Thomas Jefferson’s vision: “What farmer, what mechanic, what laborer ever sees a tax-gatherer of the United States?”Four years of civil war changed all that forever. In 1865 the national debt stood at $2.7 billion. Just the annual interest on that debt was more than twice our entire national budget in 1860. In fact, that Civil War debt is almost twice what the federal government spent before 1860.What’s worse, Jefferson’s vision had become a nightmare. The United States had a progressive income tax, an estate tax, and excise taxes as well. The revenue department had greatly expanded, and tax-gatherers were a big part of the federal bureaucracy.
Furthermore, our currency was tainted. The Union government had issued more than $430 million in paper money (greenbacks) and demanded it be legal tender for all debts. No gold backed the notes.The military side of the Civil War ended when Generals Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee shook hands at Appomattox Court House. But the economic side of the war endured for generations. The change is seen in the annual budgets before and after the war. The 1860 federal budget was $63 million, but after the war, annual budgets regularly exceeded $300 million. Why the sharp increase?
Feudalism was a combination of legal and military customs in Medieval Europe and Medieval Japan. It was a system of structuring society around relationships which were based on the holding of land in exchange of labor and service. This encompasses the wider society. A peasant was protected by his lord who would give him housing and security and the peasant would work on the lord's land. This is a typical example or characteristic of feudalism.
