December 11, 1941 Germany declared war on the joined States. The war was now In full force, with America raging war against the Nipp unrivalledse and the German Nazis.Back home In America, they to were taking spielion to foster their homeland.

This occurred because of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Many feared that the Japanese were attempting to Remain firm to their homeland and were acting as spies. Even without concrete evidence, President Roosevelt signed for them to be re determined. These camps were still located on American soil and were not death camps.The camps were concentration camps, a place where they go to basically do hard labor all day. Many Japanese American families change their homes and assets, here was no guarantee that their lives would continue as normal upon their return. Their homes sell for fractions of the price they were actually worth, even Japanese vets of WWW were forced to will their homes and assets behind. It did not matter If the families were born and raised In America and had never been to Japan, the fear of an invasion was to great to allow a possible security system issue be lose. Until the camps were finished the Japanese Americans were held in stables at local racing tracks. Ten camps were completed and the camps were built in remote areas of septette western tastes Arkansas, California, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, and Utah. The housing was poor, Tarpaper Barracks were the housing for the Japanese. There were communal mess halls for family to eat with one another, the children had to attend school and the adults had the option to work for 5$ a day.T he Japanese definitely were not living high class, but the camps they were located to where heaven to the Jewish In Germany.

The government and the people without a Japanese melodic line agreed that it was simply for the time of war. The camps never got to be the point of the steep f the Nazis camps and that was greatly appreciated, but the act in itself was considered wrong and In history is labeled as a bad move In American history.January 8 1945, the first families were released from the camps. Most families had nowhere to go and nowhere to work. A lot of Americans would not hire Japanese Americans due to their protest racism that grew because of the war. In 1988 the court tried to apologize for the wrong act of putting the Japanese Americans into compared to what the families had to go through during and after the camps. In go for America will stoop low enough to concentration camps again.
