What Was Life Like in the Camps
• Families had two days to pack and could only bring what they could carry
• Families typically were able to stay together• Housed in barracks• Used communal areas of washing, laundry,
and eating• Property was edged with barbed wire, and
protected by armed guards• Camps were located in remote, desolate
areas

Racism• There was deep racism in America in the 1940s…
– Jim Crow, Segregated Military, Immigration Quotas• There was considerable anti-Japanese racism (particularly
in California)– Japanese Exclusion League of California– Japanese immigrants denied the right to become naturalized
citizens (Takao Ozawa v. United States 1922)– Covenants against renting or selling homes to Asians were
common in California– Laws banning marriage between whites and Japanese– Segregated schools between white and Japanese Americans
• Myth of the “yellow peril”– Japanese immigrants were described as an invading horde who
lowered the standard of living for white workers– They were accused of being dirty, unhealthy, and unable to
assimilate

Wartime Hysteria• False reports of spying and
sabotage by Japanese Americans, combined with racial prejudices, led to feelings of hate towards Japanese Americans following the attack at Pearl Harbor.
• A variety of false reports were printed in the media stating that Japanese-Americans aided at Pearl Harbor or were spying on Americans, etc.
• To the right, is a false story published in 1942
![Page 32: L10: World War Two - Part Two American Foreign Policy](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56815ff6550346895dcef638/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Failure of Leadership• Roosevelt ignored
reports from Naval Intelligence, the FBI, and other sources that there was no need for mass removal or incarceration of people of Japanese ancestry
• Supreme Court upheld the Constitutionality of internment in Korematsu v. United States 1944

Economic Motives• "We're charged with
wanting to get rid of the Japs for selfish reasons and we might as well be honest. We do. It's a question of whether the white man lives on the Pacific Coast or the brown men," wrote Frank J. Taylor in the Saturday Evening Post.
• Groups that competed with Japanese immigrant farmers and laborers lobbied for internment

Epilogue• January 1945, internment is ended • Freed internees were given $25 and a bus
ticked to their former homes• In 1983 the United States government
issued a report which said that internment was unjust and militarily unjustified and had been motivated largely by racism
• In 1992, all living internees received a $20,000 reparation payment
