Present your final product according to your teacher's directions. Then, in the space below, explain why different groups of Americans had contrasting points of view about the publication of the Pentagon Papers. Write a few sentences

Answer - Opponents of the war were likely to have supported the publication of the Pentagon Papers. The Pentagon Papers contained evidence that would have supported their cause, such as details about government officials misleading the public about the progress of the war effort and even some officials' belief that the war could not be won. Supporters of the war would have been more likely to oppose publication. They were likely to have been more security-conscious and concerned about the impact the publication might have on the success of the war effort.
