Because one it was inhumane and second it showed that the U.S was afraid
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.
At the Topaz internment camp in Utah, where Japanese-Americans were forcibly relocated during World War II, there were a total of 11 recorded deaths. These deaths were primarily due to health-related issues, exacerbated by the harsh conditions of the camp. The camp housed around 8,000 Japanese-Americans, many of whom faced significant hardships during their internment.
During World War II, many Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated to internment camps across the United States. This was a result of wartime fears and racial prejudice following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens, were removed from their homes and placed in these camps, which were often located in remote areas. The internment is now widely recognized as a violation of civil rights.
They were in internment camps because of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Hope that helps!!!
During World War II, Arkansas had two internment camps for Japanese Americans: the Rohwer War Relocation Center and the Jerome War Relocation Center. These camps were part of the broader network of internment facilities across the United States, where individuals of Japanese descent were forcibly relocated and detained. The Rohwer camp operated from 1942 to 1945, while the Jerome camp was active from 1942 until its closure in 1944.
