Have you ever heard of people pushed against their will to leave their homes? Well I learned that during WW2 the ‘’japs’’ living in America were forced to move out of their homes to go to internment camps after the Americans issued the Executive Order 9066 on December 1942. The most important factor was racism because the Americans were treating the Japanese poorly. There were racial comments said toward each of them like calling them ‘’japs’’, they were forced to leave their homes in America and go to internment camps, when they tried to store their belongings somewhere the Americans would go in and steal their stuff, most of them were arrested because the Americans thought they were a threat after pearl harbor was bombed, and lastly they…show more content… Fred was a civil rights hero because he stood up to our government and refused to go to the internment camps.

The Japanese people bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941 because the Japanese intended to neutralize the U.S. Pacific Fleet, and hence protect japans advance into Malaya and the Dutch East Indies, where it sought access to natural resources such as oil and rubber. The attack increased the Americans fear and that’s why they made all the Japanese people in America to go to internment camps. When they were forcing the Japanese to go they had to send lots of military police men to each house to arrest some of them and to send others to internment
