Describe in detail the espionage cases of both Alger Hiss (late 1940s) and Julius & Ethel Rosenberg (early). Be sure to explain how these cases impacted American public opinion about the Cold War. Be specific and detailed. Please use APA format, peer reviewed sources.
don’t use Wikipedia, history.com, about.com, answers.com, schmoop.com, etc.). Try to use .edu, .gov, and .org sites that have a clear connection to an academic source. NO ENCYCLOPEDIAS. Your textbook is NOT a research source, although it can help provide some background and things you can research for your paper.
The research paper should be at least 5 full pages of double-spaced text (more is encouraged), and you should cite the source each time you use information from that source in your paper. The upper range should be about 7 pages, but if you have more to say, then write as much as you need provided that it’s relevant and on target.
Please include the plagiarism report and AI report. No repetitive information. Please use the following outline to create the essay. Please do not use chatgpt to write the paper. I will be checking the essay for ai or plagiarism too. Please submit a draft so I can review by 12 pm. Please use Microsoft word to write the paper.
