When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the American military became concerned about the security of the mainland United States, particularly along the West Coast. Many Americans turned their fear and outrage over the actions of the Japanese government on people of Japanese descent, both citizens and non-citizens, living lawfully in the United States... Japanese Americans were relocated to internment camps...At the time, approximately 112,000 people of Japanese descent lived on the West Coast, about 70,000 of these were American citizens. When they relocated the Japanese Americans there was no proven case of espionage or sabotage on their part.
Do you think that we did the right thing? And why?
Thanks!
