A. From its inception, Lake Forest, situated thirty miles north of Chicago and perched on
the western shore of Lake Michigan, was tightly controlled by its influential residents. In
1857, before any houses or businesses were built, the Association brought in Almerin
Hotchkiss, a landscape designer, to create a layout for the town. Hotchkiss created a
plan based on the principles of the picturesque, a nineteenth century English romantic
landscape movement. By the beginning of the Progressive Era in the 1890s, Lake
Forest was firmly established not only as a highly exclusive community, but also as the
only socially acceptable retreat for wealthy Chicagoans and their families during the
summer months. The Progressive Era was a time of social reform and cultural change
that would last until the end of World War 1. After the deaths of millions during the war,
the Progressives would become disillusioned with their ideals and cease trying to create
the perfect society in America. (too much, goes to screen 16)

Hook. Thesis. Three Main Points. Background Information.

(A) On February 19, 1942, President Roosevelt signed Executive
Order 9066, which authorized the military to force civilians to leave
an area without the recourse of a trial or hearing. (B) Executive
Order 9066 paved the way for the incarceration of Japanese
Americans, the majority of which were American citizens, in military
internment camps across the Western United States during World
War II. (C) The internment of Japanese Americans was not carried
out because they were military threats, as the federal government
claimed, but because of a long history of discrimination in America
against Japanese Americans and others of Asian descent. (D) This
is clearly illustrated by the discriminatory laws passed in the early
twentieth century by the state of California, the racially charged
propaganda issued by the Federal government before and after the
internment of Japanese Americans, and the findings of the 1983
Congressional report from the Commission on Wartime Relocation
and Internment of Civilians.
