Was Japanese American Internment Justified Or Unjustified?
Unjustified
Many americans were killed due to the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese. Americans looked to blame someone so they blamed the American Japanese. These people were to be blamed by the Americans after the horrible deaths of Americans. The Japanese Americans were doing their jobs and going on with their lives but soon thrown into camps. Camps to where they had some type of freedom of governing themselves in these camps. The Japanese Americans did not like it and were innocent. The military and government were caught in war hysteria, Americans were racist towards the Japanese-Americans after the bombing, and the government violated individuals rights which made it unjustified for Americans to put Japanese-Americans in internment …show more content…
The government failed to give the rights to the Japanese-American people and let the military take away their freedom. The Japanese American’s people freedom was taken away by them being put in camps.(Munson 2) In the United States everyone should have their freedom and obviously the Japanese-Americans did not. The US government did not put thought in the actions the military were taking with the Japanese-Americans. There was Naval Districts where 250-300 suspects were kept and were under surveillance.(Munson 2) 50 or 60 Japanese Americans in those Naval Districts were classed as dangerous but the rest weren’t. “The Japanese here is almost exclusively a farmer, a fisherman or a small businessman”(Munson 2) The government violated the Japanese-American’s rights by letting the people and the military put them in camps. They failed to give individuals rights.
Closing the decision of putting Japanese-Americans in camps was not justified. Not only unjustified but wrong. The Government took rights away, the military was caught in war hysteria, and there was racial feelings towards the Japanese-Americans. The decision to put the Japanese-Americans in internment camps was hard and had some justice to it but it was wrong. The ancestry or the actions of one person should not represent another person. How can we fight the darkness of the other worlds when we can’t even fight off the darkness we uphold
