the Internment camps
The internment camps in California during World War II are part of the ugly side of US history. This comes at a time when fear and blame out ruled logic and sensibility. When his happens the consequences can be startling. This is why US history has left this out with little to no mention. We would like to forget are mistake and look at that of what Germany did. But what we did was just a few steps lower then that of what Germany did. What was done to Asians and Asian-Americans was not ethical or smart though it might have gotten some Japanese supporters, it tore a hole in the people and the ideas of the United states. We took incident people and imprisoned them on thought and belief. We defied are own constitution and did what are funding fathers tried to prevent. This is also similar to what the United States did to Muslim-Americans after September 11. Although not to the extent of internment we have some of the same fears and done some of the same actions as we did to the Asian-Americans.
