Question

What did congress pass in 1988 as a form of apology to the surviving victims of internment camp

Answer 1

Answer:

The Civil Liberties Act of 1988.

Explanation:

During the Second World War, the United States government incarcerated more than 100,000 Japanese-Americans in America. This was done after Japan was on the enemy side of the war which led to the administration taking precautions from having any Japanese spy in America.

The Civil Liberties Act of 1988 was a form of presidential apology that accepted and claim responsibility for the injustice and discriminatory act of keeping the Japanese- American people in 'captivity' within barbed wires, akin to the concentration camps during the German discrimination of the Jews. Congress passed the Act as a formal apology to the Japanese-American community and also provided $20,000 as compensation to each surviving victim of the incarceration.
