The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) was established in 1938 to review alleged subversion and underground movements on the part of private residents, public workers, and those companies speculated of holding Communist ties. Revamped from its earlier manifestations as the Fish Committee and the McCormack-Dickstein Committee and including a new director, the critical Martin Dies of Texas, HUAC's vociferous attacks on the Roosevelt power prior to the eruption of the war did not accommodate the legislative mood of a state that was principally in support of FDR's administration.

explanation:

the answer is the huegonots.

explanation: we can only guess at how our actions may be perceived in the future. doing something really big like killing lots of people, saving lots of people, affecting the lives of lots of people is a sure fire way of being remembered in historical records. we can also make a difference in the history records by being a small influence on something bigger, whether that is as a civil servant, scientist or artist.

of course you could argue that we all affect history just as tiny cogs in a   bigger machine.

if you mean how do people influence our opinions of things which have already happened, then simply by writing a book which looks at things form a different perspective and trying to convince people that this perspective is more accurate or truthful. people do it all the time i.e. richard the third was a terrible or was he? plenty would disagree, it's just that their views aren't the most widely known.n:
