The government feared the japanese americans could not be trusted
Proponents of the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II argued that it was a necessary measure for national security, fearing that individuals of Japanese descent could act as spies or saboteurs for Japan. They believed that the internment would prevent potential espionage and ensure the safety of the West Coast. Additionally, some asserted that it was a wartime necessity, reflecting a broader climate of fear and prejudice against Japanese Americans. These arguments were fueled by racial stereotypes and a lack of trust in the loyalty of Japanese Americans.
the revolutionary could have been avoided if the colonies would have approved the Albany plan of union proposed by Benjamen Franklin which states that the colonies should unite and form a army. if we passed it Brittan wouldn't have sent troops here so we would not be taxed for the soldiers for the French and Indian war therefore the events leading up to the American revolution also the revolution itself would have never happened. also if Britain had given westminster respresentation to the colonies it would 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.
The U.S. sent Japanese Americans to Internment camps, right after Pearl Harbor, so they could keep an eye on them.

Some punishments in the Japanese internment camps included confinement in isolation cells, loss of privileges such as visitation rights and access to amenities, physical abuse by guards, and forced labor assignments. Additionally, families could be separated as a form of punishment.
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
what does that mean?? internment camps were used in the US in the WWII time period for Japanese people because of the attack on peral harbor. The houses were called barracks, they were mostly makeshift and could house 3 to 5 families at a time.
Of course they couldn't. Not only were the camps in the middle of nowhere, but they were surrounded by gates with barbed wire on top, and guards. It was pretty much a concentration camp without the killing. Most of the time.
because we thought that they could have been spy's so we held them there until we figured out what to do.
The internment camps were established to limit communication between Japanese-Americans and Japan due to a condern that the planning of the attack on Pearl Harbor could lead to a direct attack on the US mainland. There was no difinite connection that someone within the US was or was not involved in the planning of the attack.
Japanese Americans were forced into internment camps during World War II primarily due to widespread fear and suspicion following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The U.S. government, influenced by wartime hysteria and racial prejudice, believed that individuals of Japanese descent could be loyal to Japan and pose a security threat. As a result, over 120,000 Japanese Americans, many of whom were U.S. citizens, were forcibly relocated to internment camps, often losing their homes and businesses in the process. This action has since been recognized as a grave injustice and violation of civil liberties.
I think you are referring to the WWII Japanese internment camps. After Pearl Harbor, it was thought that Japanese-American citizens could not be trusted, so they were rounded up and forced to live at various "camps" around the U.S. until the war was over. See the Related Links below.
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.
