The point of this source is to explain the events of the Japanese Internment in a way that

would make America look good. They called them "Evacuees" to make it seem like they

were protecting them. This source will help me outline how America tried to cover its

tracks.

This is the official document forcing Japanese Americans into internment camps.

Executive Order 9066 gives insight to the government's point of view of the mass

hysteria involved with "aliens"(Japanese). This source is important because it gives

information on the conditions of Japanese American Internment Camps and insight on

how the government handled the mass hysteria of Japanese American traitors. This

The main idea of this source details the detention and ultimate imprisonment of

thousands of citizens during World War II just because they were of Japanese

ancestry.New information that I found were that without civil rights Japanese Americans

were forced from their homes and businesses, fired from their jobs, and compelled to

leave school. Also the book provides information about the legals battles that ensued.

Other information the book gave me how concentration camps were like for Japanese-

American. This source would provide us important information about Japanese-American

Internment and important dates that happened during this event. This source would

provide us important information and dates for our project or display.

Americans were interned due to suspicions/paranoia, prejudice, american competition.

Camps were open for 3 years before eventually closing. Japanese-Americans had to wait

2-3 years before compensation for the troubles. Many came home to find out their homes

were looted and/or sold. I am using this source in my annotations and final project to

describe how Japanese Internment worked, and the hardships Japanese-Americans had to

face.

camps-resonates-strongly-180961422/

Japanese-American citizens are still struggling to gain back what they(or their relatives)

had before internment. Some new information that I discovered included the fact that

many Japanese-Americans returned from internment to find that their homes were taken

due to lack of payment. I have used this source to learn more about how the effects of

Japanese Internment still linger today. I will use this source to put together an
 Bui 5

informational website about the Japanese Internment. It supplies me with information

regarding how internment still affects Japanese-Americans today.
