5 Which best describes the Japanese Americans interned during the war?
They were no threat to the United States.You would have needed to include the choices for the best description of the the Japanese Americans. I can tell you this: They were loyal Americans being treated unconstitutionally and unfairly. They were interned in deplorable conditions. Their sons fought in the war. They were good and wonderful people who worked hard and had good businesses. They were robbed of their livelihoods and homes. They were not reimbursed for their homes and businesses and farms. It was one of the worst travesties to ever happen in our country (like what happened to the Native Americans). They were not even allowed to be citizens unless they were born here.
Where was anti War War II sentiment the strongest among Americans?
During World War II many Japanese Americans were placed into camps within the United States. During their stay within these camps the government at the time - decided to draft the individuals within the camp. As much as 9/10 Japanese Americans refused the draft. The Anti War Sentiment was very strong within the student populations, and with the interned Japanese Americans.
How many Japanese Americans were interred in 1942?
The numbers vary but it was around 110,000 and 120,000. FDR authorized the interment which was upheld by the Supreme Court. Jimmy Carter, in 1980 opened an investigation into this and it was found that race was the reason that the Japanese were interred. Regan signed the Civil Liberties Act in 1988 which gave $20,000 to each survivor or heirs. The U.S. government eventually disbursed more than $1.6 billion to 82,219 Japanese Americans who had been interned.
How were the Japanese in the US affected during the war?
There are numerous wars in history and most of them are irrelevant to Japanese-Americans. Assuming by "the war", the question exclusively refers to World War II, the following is the answer: Unfortunately, racism was a huge part of United States history and Blacks were not the only race to suffer unequal and prejudicial treatment. Asian-Americans did not become accepted as "true Americans" until the mid-1960s. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, many Americans saw the Japanese-Americans as a fifth column. This meant that they viewed the Japanese-Americans as secret spies for Japan and inherently disloyal to the United States. Strangely, from a modern perspective, German-Americans, Irish-Americans, and Italian-Americans, who were much more vociferous opponents of US military policy in World War II were not even considered for discriminatory treatment, showing that this boils down to racism and fear of Asians more than it does legitimate security concerns. In order to deal with this perceived loyalty, the President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942. This order was used to round up Japanese-Americans all along the Pacific coast (the largest area of Japanese-Americans in the United States) and place them in internment camps. In 1944, the US Supreme Court upheld the validity of the camps on the grounds of necessary military action. Surprisingly, the Japanese-American response was not to riot or protest, but to actively seek to assist the United States military in World War II. To "prevent" the Japanese-Americans from being in contact with other Japanese, most Japanese-American units were sent to the Italian Front, where some of them earned the highest amounts of commendations and medals. After the war, the Japanese-Americans were released from the camps without any property of money from which to make a living. However, many of them were resourceful and able to sustain themselves in the following decades. In the 1980s, the US Federal Government admitted its wrongdoing and compensated every family that still had a surviving member from the internment camps for this violation of their civil liberties.
