In the early Cold War period, particularly during the late 1940s and 1950s, President Harry S. Truman and Congress took several steps to identify American communists. Truman established the Loyalty Review Board in 1947 to investigate federal employees for communist affiliations. Additionally, Congress conducted hearings through the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), which investigated alleged communist influences in various sectors, including Hollywood and labor unions. These efforts contributed to a widespread climate of suspicion and fear, often resulting in blacklisting and other repercussions for those accused.
