There was a fear that the Japanese population (substantial in Hawail) would be sympathetic to Japan and may spy and/or commit acts of sabotage.
The planes were lined up in the "look sharp" formation to create a smaller containment area where they could be protected rather than spreading them out.
Of course, this made an easy target for the Japanese.

What did the US Army do to try and prevent having their planes attacked at pearl harbor and why was it a mistake?
In order to prevent sabotage attempts against parked aircraft by local Japanese-Americans, the military authorities lined them up wingtip to wingtip on their airstrips so that they could be easily observed. However, this plan backfired horrendously during the actual Japanese attack, as the lines of planes were easily strafed by Japanese fighters. During the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese destroyed 188 US planes and heavily damaged 159 more, largely because of these tactics.

Pearl Harbor was important because it was the site at which Japanese naval action brought the US into World War 2.

This enraged the US population and ensured a war to "unconditional surrender."

What did the attack on Pearl Harbor reveal about US character?
At the beginning of World War II the American people wanted to stay out of European or Japanese conflicts. They did send weapons and money, occasionally soldiers, but generally, America as removed from the war. After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and people lost relatives, friends or just fellow Americans, the attitude changed. There were men lined for blocks waiting for a turn to sign up at their local recruiting office because they were not going to take an attack on fellow Americans lying down. I believe this information came from Walter Lord's Day of Infamy if you would like to review it.
