japanese internment

ARTICLE---

I read an article about japanese internment from an "exploring Japanese internment website" online. The article talked about how the Japanese Americans were put into internment camps because the US didnt know if they were spies from Japan or not , so they put most them into the camos.. "Within hours of the attacks on Pearl Harbor, two American citizens of Japanese ancestry, with no prior history of anti-Americanism, shockingly collaborated with a Japanese soldier against their fellow Hawaiians" explains the author of this article. At the beginning the Japanese were not considered bad but when attacks started happenning on the United States the Japanese turned against the US. The US couldn't trust the Japanese any longer so they decided to take action and lock them up. A lot of the Japanese in the internment camps were innocent but they had no way to prove that they werent spies from Japan so they had to suffer the consequences too. It's sad when things as tragic as this can happen to such a wonderful country.
