Internment, the most significant reason for the Internment was the concern about national security threats. Racism played a huge role and helped build on the tension that was already among the American citizens and the Japanese. Discrimination and close to genocidal policies were already executed against the Chinese in earlier years motivated by fear. Anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States began before World War II while many Anti-Japanese organizations arose all around California before…

grew steadily from 18.3 percent to 21.4 percent . Women during this time made less than half of what men made, and most jobs were only available in the fields of domestic service and manufacturing.

This strike involved politicians, laws, and even touched the President at the time personally. This strike also affected the Northeastern part of the United States which is where we reside. First let us start with a…

Public sentiment related to joining a war was incredibly warry as memories of the financial collapse of the 1930’s due in some part to the overproduction during World War I led many to fear falling for the same mistake again. Nothing was definite in the nation’s understanding of the war, and the doubt generated in the war’s future led to a hesitant mobilization effort. The nation…

actually conspiracies that the economic powers had caused this recession intentionally but no truth ever became of it. But it was back to the drawing board for Roosevelt.
