In 1944, the Supreme Court ruled in Korematsu vs. United States, as a protection against espionage and sabotage. President Roosevelt had the master plan of Putting many Japanese-Americans in camps because it was to protect the rest of the United States from “loyal Japanese” who may be spies and help Japan. Those who cooperated with going to the camps meant loyalty to the United States by assisting in war effort. In an article called “Japanese American Internment During War World II” says, that President Carter, the 39th president, appointed a committee to look back into the Japanese American internment. The committee proved that the Japanese- Americans weren’t put into the camps to protect American grounds from threats, but because of prejudice.
