There was two spy cases that were huge. Alger Hiss was born November 11, 1904 and died on November 15, 1996. He was a american government official. The reason why this spy case was so popular because he was accused  of being part of the Soviet Union spy in 1948 and also convicted of perjury, in the connection of the same charge in 1950.

In 1949 the soviet union tested their atomic bomb and people thought that it would not take much time for the soviets to have their atomic bomb. Some British scientist confessed giving the soviets information about the bomb and they also incriminated Ethel and Julius Rosenberg. They were part of the american communist party, but they refused that they were part of the spying. They were convicted at the end and they were sentenced to death in prison. People found out about their sentence and they  appealed for clemency, people said that the evidence was too weak to sentence them for death. The supreme court stuck to their decisions and the Rosenberg was convicted in 1953.

The worst part is that he did not have evidence to support his claims. His unsupported attacks are called McCarthyism. McCarthyism became a tactic for accusing people of disloyalty when they do not have enough evidence. The people that were supporting McCarthyism was the republicans, they thought that it was a strong way for a anti-communist to win the election of 1952, but other people thought that it was violating the peoples constitutional rights. In 1954 McCarthy made another accusation about the U.S Army. His accusation was televised around the world and many american watched as he accused the U.S  army , but he didn't show no evidence. By him doing that people dislike him and he lost public favor, so the senate had to condemn him.
