What did the American public think of the internment camps?
After the attacks on Pearl Harbor, many white Americans began to distrust Japanese Americans and their patriotic loyalties. Also, the Japanese Navy's location was unknown at the time, and thus many believed that a Japanese attack on the west coast could have occurred at any time. Many white Americans believed that Japanese Americans could provide intelligence for the Imperial Japanese forces, and that if the Japanese Navy were to attack the west coast, Japanese Americans would join the invaders and help fight against the United States. Many white Americans believed that the internment was justified, and the US Supreme Court agreed. In Korematsu v. United States, the Supreme Court ok'd the internment of Japanese Americans, citing public safety and protection against espionage to be a valid reason for internment and the taking of civil rights and liberties from Japanese Americans.

Ways Japanese internment camps could have been avoided?
Japanese Internment camps were never a necessity. Based on a few Japanese people who hid a Japanese pilot, the entire population of Japanese Americans were convicted without a jury. Yet, Japanese Americans still continued to join the army, and go to fight for their country while their families were forced to live in internment camps. Historians agree this was a very dark time in American history.

Why were japaniese Americans sent to internment camps?
During World War II, anti-Japanese sentiment was high in the United States. Many Americans feared that these Japanese-Americans were spies for Japan. Everyone was afraid after the Japanese strike on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Most of the population believed that the Japanese-Americans could send inside information to the Japanese and allow for another attack on United States soil. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 to sent the Japanese to the camps. However, the Japanese weren't the only ones to be sent to Internment Camps by the United States. Some German-Americans and Italian-Americans were also sent to camps.

Interment camps were set up for Japanese American?
Japanese and Japanese Americans living on the US west coast were placed in internment camps on the claim that spies and sabatouers could be hiding among them. Since Japanese and Japanese Americans living in Hawaii and in the US east of the Mississippi were not forced into camps, and since no American citizens of German or Italian descent were placed in internment camps, the actual reason is more likely related to racial stereotypes and anti-Japanese hysteria.Read more: Why_were_Internment_camps_set_up_for_Japanese_Americans
