Dear Editor of the Los Angeles Times,Hello. I am a white American citizen living in Los Angeles. I have just read about theSupreme Court case of Korematsu v. the United States, and had some opinions I would like todiscuss. This case as made me very irate as I do not agree with the way Japanese Americansare being treated.I believe that forcing Japanese Americans into internment camps is unfair andunconstitutional. It is bypassing their rights as American citizens. Yes, they are of Japanesedissent, but they chose to be here. They left their home country, culture, family, and basicallyeverything they knew behind just to become citizens in this country. They want nothing morethan to take advantage of all this great land has to offer, just like everyone else. It is unfair todiscriminate against them because of their nationality. Korematsu should not have beenarrested for resisting containment, as freedom is a founding principal of the United States. Iagree with the dissenting opinion, as the majority voted to withhold Korematsu’s conviction

<span>Sam Adams started the "Committee of Correspondence" so that the colonists in various colonies could communicate with each other, since it was clear that the colonies would need to work together. </span>
Americans had a huge impact on the end of World War I with the entry into the war as the Allies were at a stalemate with the Axis powers because of the usage of trench warfare.
After the war, the peace settlement that took place was one of the worst agreements. America had the Fourteen Points which was an amazing statement of principles for peace.
Only one of those points was ever considered, and that was the creation of the League of Nations which led to the creation of the United Nations after World War II.
France and Britian wanted Germany to suffer for the war, so they denied the fourteen points and signed the treaty that led to the rise of Hitler and the second World War.
The Treaty of Versailles which blamed the whole war on Germany, as well as forcing them to make payments they could not make, taking away many freedoms, and downright punishing the country.
And as we know, when a country is not stable like this... They will choose the loss of freedoms over economic collapse and that is exactly what happened when Hitler came into play and basically saved Germany from an economic collapse while also starting the biggest world war and the Holocaust.
Yup, history can get very interesting.
Hope this helps!
