Did the us ever apologize to Japanese Americans put in internment camps?

Yes, the U.S. government formally apologized to Japanese Americans who were interned during World War II. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed the Civil Liberties Act, which acknowledged the injustices of the internment and offered a formal apology. The act also provided financial reparations to surviving internment camp victims. This recognition marked a significant step in addressing this historical injustice.

How much did Japanese Americans get paid for reparations?

In 1988, via the Civil Liberties Act, Congress passed (and President Reagan signed) a measure calling for monetary reparations to be made to the 82, 210 detainees remanded to Japanese internment camps during World War II. The final total of this measure would cost the U.S. over $1.6 billion, as the measure called for redress in the amount of $20,000 per detainee. Payments were issued to survivors or their descendants. In 1992, President George Bush (Sr.) signed the final payments attached to this act, and also issued another formal apology for the wartime internment practice and its effects on its detainees.


When were internment camps established?

Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, anti-Japanese politicians and writers suggested that a credible threat of espionage and sabotage existed, and convinced President Franklin D Roosevelt that people of Japanese descent presented a threat to the military security of Hawaii and of the US west coast. He issued an executive order, and more than one hundred thousand people were forcibly relocated to the "War Relocation Camps". It is now widely held that this was a huge mistake, based largely on racial bigotry; and in 1988 Congress passed legislation apologizing on behalf of the US government. Even at the time, many Americans protested that the process was wrong. FBI Director J Edgar Hoover, a staunch defender of US security, opposed the internment following exhaustive investigations; and US Justice Department officials reported at the time that the justifications were based on "willful historical inaccuracies and intentional falsehoods."

Japanese-American Internment?

Similar to the Red Scare in WWI, many Americans feared Japanese Americans were a threat to American safety. 110,000 Japanese-Americans were forced into these camps because the US feared that they might act as saboteurs for Japan in case of invasion. The camps deprived the Japanese-Americans of basic rights, and the internees lost hundreds of millions of dollars in property. In the Supreme Court ruling in Korematsu v. U.S. (1944), the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the concentration camps.

Why were Japanese forced into internment camps?

The reasons are rather Un-American. The people of the government overreacted and wanted to round up all the Germans, Italians and Japanese to see if they were spies and keep them interned. They did not put the Germans and Italians into camps because famous people told the government people it would be unfair and impossible with the amount of Germans and Italians in the United States. No one spoke up on behalf of the Japanese. So they were interned unconstitutionally and unfairly. They could not understand the Japanese people had no allegiance to Japan and were not spies.
