After the bombing of Pearl Harbor the Japanese-Americans were put into camps. They did this because the government thought that there were spies in America and did not know how to find exactly who, so they locked up all Japanese-American.

Before the Pearl Harbor inccident the U.S. was not directly involved in WWII. Afterward the U.S. declared war on Japan. The U.S. then immediately turned on Japanese Americans, believing that they would side their loyalties with Japan. America's distrust turned on the Japanese. This started internment camps. These internment camps were the relocation of 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans residing in the U.S. All Japanese on the West Coast were all interned.

America became suspicious and they feared that the Japanese Americans would side to japan. The Japanese Amercians were put into tents and camps. For the Japanese Americans, they did not like that America bombed Japan back.

I don't think that this was the right thing to do. The government felt great distrust against Japanese Americans for the thought that they could be spies. I think that this was a ignorant stereotype. There is no way that this idea of an internment camp could be backed up. In my opinion I believe that this is just like the Guantanamo Bay situation.

After the bombing of pearl harbor, Japenese-Americans were not trusted. They were put into camps, Japanese-American buisnesses were shut down. I remmber reading a article in elementary school about this. The mother of two Japanese-Americans boys said,"They may be Japanese, but thier hearts are in America. This is where they were born and raised. Nothing could take that away from thim. I dont understnd how the goverment could think that we would do somthing bad to them".
