After Pearl harbor all the Japanese were moved to the internment camps because Americans were afraid of spies.
I know that in the WW2 the Japanese Internment camps were made for all of the people that were of Japanese ancestry or just Japanese because the US were afraid that they would be in connection with Japan and make an attack.
When I visited the link I discovered that over 110,000 Japanese Americans were forced to go into the camps and live there. Although the camps were not fun, they definitely could have been worse. The US did not torture the Japanese, they just set them off and gave them a deserted, private, lost place to live.
Japanese internment camps were where Japanese- Americans were held for supposition of helping the Japanese fight against America. During history i learned that the Japanese- Americans that lived in the west part of America were removed from there houses to leave everything behind and go to Internment camps.
Japanese Interment Camps were not Concentration camps but usually associated with them. They were camps that the Japanese were put into after the attack of Pearl Harbor.They wanted to remove all Japanese from West coast because they believed there could be Japanese spy's.
I know, that the Japanese Americans were given 7 days to pack everything that they could hold, but nothing more. No pets, no beds, no furniture. All you could take was clothes, plates, forks, knives, bed sheets, and anything else that you could hold in your two arms. And hope when you got home your belongings you left behind were still present and okay to use. The conditions at the camps were not very good, you had some freedoms though. The worst part was not knowing when they would get out, wondering about their old lives at homes. They were not as bad as the German concentration camps, but they were not good either. These camps were located in the west coast for people of the Japanese decent so that they would not sabotage the U.S, located in the wast coast they packed them all up and stuffed them away.
I have learned that the Japanese Internment camps were not a fun place for the Japanese. Most of them had to share single bedrooms with their whole entire family. It was very hard for them to leave their old homes, schools, businesses and friends. One thing that the link talked about was how many internment camps there actually was. I was surprised to learn how many filled the country and how some are still here to this day. I think it is sad that our country had to have a part in this. Even though there was an apology given.
I don't really know much about the WWII Japanese Internment camps. I didn't even know about it until this year in history class, but now having studied about it, I know that there was some serious injustice. I cant believe that they were put into those camps on the east coast. Just assuming those things is pretty bad. If there was full evidence that they were helping the other side, but otherwise there had been Japanese people living in America for numerous years and had no idea that their home country was going to do something like that.
From my US History class I have learned a lot about the Japanese Internment camps. Japanese Americans were removed because the government suspected them of being spy's, even though after the war there were no known Japanese spy's. we learned that order to remove the Japanese from the west coast was an executive order that FDR gave for the military to do as they see suitable with the evacuation. I also learned that these camps were basically like concentration camps so these were a large hypocrisy that America had.
I know that Japanese Americans where taken into the relocation camps after the bombing at Pearl Harber. I did learn this from history class. President Roosevelt called the plan 9066 a few days after the attack. I discovered that the camps where really bad and before this year i had no idea about the camps. The link provided a visual about the camps with the pictures and the stories.
We learned that internment camps took citizen rights away from the Japanese Americans. They made it so that every person in a Japanese family would be enrolled in an internment camp. They included infants, children, mothers, fathers, and the elderly. Americans suspected that the Japanese Americas were giving information to Japan. Therefore they figured they needed to be removed.
After Pearl Harbor was brutally attacked by the Japanese, the American government was afraid any Japanese left living on the west coast were assisting the Japanese in the Pacific Ocean. To make sure they weren't, they took all the Japanese families to camps called internment camps. This way we were absolutely sure that they couldn't keep in contact with Japan even if they weren't before.
What I have learned about Japanese Internment Camps is they singled out Japanese Americans because they thought they helped with the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The goal was to get rid of Japanese ancestry. When I visited the link I learned that two-thirds of the people that had to go to the camps were American citizens.
None of the Japanese really did anything wrong if was just that hysteria after the attack that made them act irrationally. What really surprises me is that the president issued it.
I have learned that in World War II they sent people of Japanese decent to internment camps. Interment camps are like concentration camps only we did not kill everyone in them. We put them in there because we thought that if it can to a fight that they would fight for the country, japan. We were not being very kind and most of the Japanese people were really no threat to us because they were 3rd or 4th generation Japanese and we still thought that they were going to go against us. We were not being reasonable.
I've learned that there was strong discrimination against Japanese Americans even before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. from the link I learned that over two thirds of the Japanese Americans moved to the camps were American citizens and that over half were children. I think that this will help connect with "A Farewell To Manzanar" because we get a child's view of what was going on and a lot of the people at the camps were children.
From the book "A Farewell to Manzanar?" i learned that even if they are suspicious that you have relations with Japan after they bombed pearl harbor you got taken away and interrogated and if the American citizens were suspicious then the link with the Japanese would be taken away and not seen by there family for a year or so or even forever. The U.S. was mainly neutral but became sympathetic of the allies lead by England and France. The U.S. cut down on sales of oil and iron to Japan.
In history, actually yesterday I learned about the internment camps for the Japanese. The reason for the Japanese having to go to the camps was because the attack of Pearl Harbor. After Pearl Harbor the Americans couldn't trust any Japanese- Americans who lived in the United States because they were afraid of other attacks. Therefore they sent them to the Internment Camps, where the Americans new they would be safe from any attacks. In A Farewell To Manzanar Papa, a Japanese American was sent to the camps because he wasn't trusted by the Americans.
I knew that because of the bomb on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese, all the Japanese people living in America on the west coast had to go to internment camps. These camps weren't as bad as the camps going on in Europe but it was wrong and the worst violation of civil rights in American History.
The interment camps were for people with Japanese ancestry. The government thought that anyone who had Japanese ancestry could be a spy. To minimize the spy problem they put every Japanese person in a camp. This wasn't fair to anyone so, forty-two years later the government officially apologized.These camps were cruel, mean and unjust.
Regarding the WWII Japanese Interment Camp, I know that the constitution of Civil rights were violated. In visiting the link, I discovered that the condition was harsh and unsanitary.
The Japanese Internment Camps during World War II were a violation of these people's rights. They were taken against their will and forced to stay in concentration camps with poor housing and conditions. The United States Government justified that they need to "evacuate" these people from the West Coast because the needed the space for the military. But, what they actually did was take away these people's homes, pets, memories, and lives. The U.S. government was afraid that these people were acting as spies to their enemies, Germany and Japan. But, there was no proof or records of any Japanese-Americans committing espionage. People just assumed that every Japanese-American was bad and had negative intentions. From the book, "A Farewell To Manzanar", I learned that the main character and her family were going to have to say goodbye to everything they had ever known. Their lives were going to be completely changed in just a few weeks. Her family would be split apart (her father arrested), and her world, as well as many others', was turned upside down. The link showed that many Japanese-Americans are still bitter about this time period, and want everyone to remember what they went through. Many of them don't want to move on and forget about their past. Something as significant as a violation of someone's rights should not be forgotten.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor all Japanese people were put in camps. The Japanese worked and lived in these camps but they weren't nearly as bad as concentration camps. I really haven't learned anything really important in history about these camps. I also didn't discover much on the website that was connected with the book.
*During WWII the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and immediately after the U.S. government accused every Japanese decent or any one who was of Japanese ancestry was accused of helping on the attack on pearl harbor, and were moved into internment camp. When they were moved into the internment camps their civil rights were violated. In the link i learned about how they were prisoners in their own country.

And how the American government apologized for the "grave injustice" six years too late.
