Should The Government Use Propaganda Against Japanese-Americans?

The order for the military to put Japanese in imprisonment takes away from their constitutional rights and is discriminating against the Japanese race. The

In Doc A it says “The President issued Executive order No. 9066 authorizing...security measures.” (DeWitt 3) This shows that the military and the President himself did the internment for the safety of their people. This even helped the Japanese Americans with their own safety, because if they wouldn't have moved, there would be many fights between Americans and Japanese citizens. If this would’ve happened it could even end in death. As well as this evidence, in Doc C it states “The Japanese are hampered as saboteurs.” (Munson 1) This evidence as well shows that the Japanese Americans would be hampered on and hurt because of their skin and ancestry as well. Not only did the internment protect all citizens from Japanese spies, it also protected the Japanese

Was President Roosevelt justified in ordering Executive Order 9066, which resulted in the internment of Japanese American citizens. I believe that he was justified in putting them into internment camps because we didn't know whether or not they could be trusted.

When Franklin Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942,1 thousands of Japanese-American families were relocated to internment camps in an attempt to suppress supposed espionage and sabotage attempts on the part of the Japanese government. Not only was this relocation based on false premises and shaky evidence, but it also violated the rights of Japanese-Americans through processes of institutional racism that were imposed following the events of Pearl Harbor. Targeting mostly Issei and Nisei citizens, first and second generation Japanese-Americans respectively,2 the policy of internment disrupted the lives of families, resulting in a loss of personal property, emotional distress,

Japanese internment camps from 1942 to 1946 were an exemplification of discrimination, many Japanese Americans were no longer accepted in their communities after the Bombing of Pearl Harbor. They were perceived as traitors and faced humiliation due to anti-Japanese sentiment causing them to be forced to endure several hardships such as leaving behind their properties to go an imprisoned state, facing inadequate housing conditions, and encountering destitute institutions. The Bombing of Pearl Harbor occurred on December 7, 1941 (Why I Love a Country that Once Betrayed Me). This led president Roosevelt to sign the executive order 9066, which authorized the army to remove any individual that seemed as a potential threat to the nation (“Executive Order 9066”) This order allowed the military to exclude “‘any or all persons from designated areas, including the California coast.”’ (Fremon 31). Many Japanese opposed to leave the Pacific Coast on their own free will (Fremon 24) . Japanese Americans would not be accepted in other areas if they moved either.Idaho’s governor stated, Japanese would be welcomed “only if they were in concentration camps under guard”(Fremon 35). The camps were located in Arizona, Arkansas, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, and California where thousands of Japanese Americans eventually relocated. (“Japanese Americans at Manzanar”) The internment lasted for 3 years and the last camp did not close until 1946. (Lessons Learned: Japanese Internment During WW2)

After the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, many people were dubious towards many Japanese-Americans and believed they were working with Japan. With this, on February 19, 1942, President Roosevelt signed the Executive Order 9066, moving several Japanese-Americans into concentration camps, calling it a “military necessity” (Ewers 1). When this happened, many Japanese-Americans lost everything they had owned such as houses, farms, and their rights as American citizens.

On February 19th 1942, Roosevelt signed the executive order 9066. Under the terms of the order, people of Japanese descent were placed in internment camps. The United States’ justification for this abominable action was that the Japanese American’s may spy for their Homeland. Over 62% of the Japanese that were held in these camps were American Citizens. The United States’ internment of the Japanese was a poor and cowardly method of ‘keeping the peace.’ The United States was not justified in stowing away Japanese Americans into almost concentration camps. This act goes against the basic Bill Of Rights granted to all American citizens, the Fifth Amendment's command that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due

The U.S. could be justified in the internment of Japanese Americans because it was a matter of national security. They could say that there could have been a war on the west coast if the Japanese were not put in internment camps. They could also say that many of the Japanese could be loyal to Japan and betray America. The U.S. could say they were right in doing this but as this document shows they were not justified in doing so. The Japanese deserved as much a right as any other person in U.S. had, to be free and enjoy

On February 19, 1942, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt authorized Executive Order 9066. By signing the order, President Roosevelt directed the secretary of war to put certain zones under military power. The authorization of this order eventually led to the internment of 110,000 Japanese Americans that had been living in the United States for years. These Japanese Americans were imprisoned because of their ancestry. The imprisonment impacted their overall health and resulted in financial disaster.

Two months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Executive Order 9066. This forced all Japanese-Americans, regardless of loyalty or citizenship to evacuate to the West Coast. The relocation of Japanese-Americans into internment camps during World War II was one of the most flagrant violations of civil liberties in American history.

When the Executive Order 9066 was passed, the Japanese Americans were given about six days to pack their things, make necessary arrangements and say their goodbyes. These people had jobs. Some were store owners, some were strawberry farmers, but nonetheless, they had to either sell or make other arrangements. They were instructed they could only take with them what they could carry. To me, I felt this was both necessary but also very sad as well. The United States was in shock over the attack on Pearl Harbor. People were outraged, but they were also scared. To think we had Japanese Americans living in this country, the fear was what if they were planning another attack from within? That was the scary idea, so the order 9066 was signed on February

Executive Order 9066 has been determined unconstitutional. It was unconstitutional because it went against the laws stated in amendments. Executive order 9066 breaks the rights of amendments 2,4,5,6,7, and 8. Executive Order 9066 was when the Japanese Americans were ordered to go internment camps. During this time, the Japanese often worked and labored. Also, white children were separated from the Japanese Americans, in schools. This was signed in 1942, during WWII.

Although Japanese-Americans’ rights were violated, people at this time didn’t know if they posed a potential threat to the U.S. or not. For all they knew the Japanese-Americans could have a secret organization dedicated to helping and coordinating Japanese attacks. The hysteria was there at this time, so it may look like a bad thing now that they got interned but people didn’t know what they were or could be doing. Even though the rights of Japanese-Americans may look like they would have been violated, nowadays back then people did not know what they were capable

During World War II Japanese Americans were forced to relocate from their homes and business along the western coast of the United States of America. The very action that followed were created by one of the United States most controversial orders to modern date. Signed into effect on February 19, of 1942. President Franklin D. Roosevelt would release Executive Order 9066, the order would cause the incarceration of hundreds of thousands of Japanese Americans. Later the Order was expanded to include German and Italian Americans. Although given provisions to live life, the areas selected and center conditions caused much debate among some government officials, and later among civilians. Was signing this Order in the best interest of the American government? Was this the only possible way to keep espionage and American secrets safe from the Japanse Empire? Was President Roosevelt simply acting on his wartime powers? Was President Roosevelt acting on rage and prejudice against the japanse people for the attack on Pearl Harbor. Not until president Ronald Reagan come into the

But I will never forget the shocking feeling that human beings were behind this fence like animals crying. And we were going to also lose our freedom and walk inside of that gate and find ourselves…cooped up there…when the gates were shut, we knew that we had lost something that was very precious; that we were no longer free," stated Tsukamoto in her book about her experience in the camps. You could say yes, this is true, but how else were they supposed to keep them in the camps, the president was just trying to keep America safe. Well, there is an answer for that maybe arrest all the Japanese and after that interrogate all of them instead of keeping them in horrible camps for all those years. This is important considering if this was offered to the President before he sign order 9066 it could’ve prevented countless pain and suffering. After that, Executive order 9066 ordered over 110,000 Japanese Americans to leave their homes in California, Washington, and Oregon immediately. Another key part to remember is that there was no warning to Japanese people in the West they were just evacuated without question. All in all, this suggests that the government didn 't give the Japanese any notice or warning that they were going to be evacuated. Finally, Japanese Americans felt more racial hatred than German Americans and Italian Americans. People were afraid, and they thought that the only way
