The Japanese-American Internment

On December, 7th 1941 the country of Japan made a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, forcing America to join the fight against the axis powers in the Second World War. After the attack, many Americans saw all Japanese people as the enemy. This caused politicians to "relocate" Japanese immigrants and even third-generation Japanese-Americans, to internment camps. Many Japanese people did not want to live in the camps and caused riots to break out in several camps. After the Japanese-Americans were rounded up there was probably some American that didn't agree with the injustices of the Japanese Internment, most were other minorities, such as African-Americans, Irish, and Italians who were also were treated poorly in the U.S. . Society of the past and of today is unjustified, on how people treat each other, on prejudging others, and unjust infringement of basic human rights. On how society was back in the 1940's there was really nothing we could have done, except we should have made sure that our fear of the Other does not lead to taking rights and holding people in jail-like camps. Throughout history there is instances on how history can repeat itself, in order to prevent such
atrocities from happening again we study our past to make sure that it would't happen again.
