The correct answer is: "The House Un-American Activities Committee wrongly accused many people."

The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) was founded in 1938 as an investigative committee dependent on the House of Representatives. It intended to detect and combat subversive behaviours observed in private citizens or public employees, or possible relationships of US population with either Communism or Fascism. It was specially active during the Cold War era. It worked also to uncover foreign espionage, mainly from the URSS during the Cold War, but it cannot be said that it manage to end espionage activities. It was dismantled in 1975 and its functions are now in charge of the House Judiciary Committee.

The HUAC many times used its power to call citizens to testify before Congress, without a strong evidence backup, in a very intimidating atmosphere, giving rise to dramatic and questionable testimonies. It was an instrument which created fear, distrust and was used for political repression.

</span><span>AD 900-1400 - Farming and hunting people from this time in Oklahoma prehistory settled along major rivers and creeks. They planted corn, beans and squash in the fertile flood plains, hunted bison and deer, and fished and gathered mussels from the rivers. Four of these cultures have been defined in western and southern Oklahoma. Since we have no written records from this time, the names of these cultures are unknown. When early Spanish explorers came in the 1500's, they found people who called themselves the Teyas and the Escanjaques. Perhaps the people discussed here also used these names several hundred years earlier. Archeologists believe the Teyas and Escanjaques are descendants of the people discussed on these pages. They are all believed to have been Caddoan speakers.

kupik [55]
The correct answer is
<span>b. it led to disputes and conflict between the American colonists and the British crown over the war's expense and British.

The American colonists didn't want to fight with French since there were no hard feelings between the British and the French colonies and they even often traded together or similar things. When they had to go to war against each other, this made the American colonists angry because they didn't want to fight wars that harmed them and that had nothing to do with them.</span>

Anon25 [30]
The United States involvement in the recent events in Rwanda can best be described as intervention. Involvement at all rules out isolation and diplomacy exists as synonymous to international affairs. The actions wouldn't be imperialistic because the US isn't trying to take control of Rwandan affairs thus it must be intervention - a direct involvement in an effort to allow the nation to conduct its own affairs.
