Consider this quote from Morris Opler concerning Japanese Internment Camps: "What kind of Americanism do you call that? That's n

ot democracy. That's not the American way, taking everything away from people. . . . Where are the Germans? Where are the Italians? Do they ask them questions about loyalty? . . ." Morris brings up the unequal treatment of Asian Americans during this time when compared with immigrants from other countries. Why do you think Japanese Americans were specifically targeted? What does this say about society at the time?

Answer:

Japanese Americans were targeted because Japan was an enemy of the US at the time. This shows a strong prejudice of American society with people of different ethnicities, considered enemies, even if these people were part of American society.

Explanation:

During World War II, Japan positioned itself as an enemy of the USA. This caused the American government and society to take a hard, xenophobic, violent and racist stance with all people of Asian origin who lived in the country. The problem is that these individuals were, for the most part, American citizens who were born and raised within American culture and had nothing to do with Japanese governments and attacks. This type of treatment showed how society was very racist with people of different ethnicities, even if they shared the same nationality and culture.

The war of 1812 was fought between the United States and Great Britain. There a few causes for this war.
Airida [17]

There were multiple reasons the War of 1812 happened, one of them being that Britain and France were battling, which caused Britain to restrict French trade from the United States, which didn't make Americans happy. Another reason was the United Kingdom didn't want the United States to expand and become powerful, as they may be deemed as a threat, so they supported Natives in keeping their land so Americans couldn't expand. The last reason I know of, was Britain would capture some of our troops and force them to join their army. These things lead to the War of 1812, which was followed by peace between the United Kingdom and the United States.

Ksivusya [100]

The most important event was obviously the American Civil War from 1861-1865. This led to the 14th Amendment which defined a citizen as "any person born or naturalized in the US." The 13th Amendment abolished slavery, and the 15th Amendment prohibits denying the right to vote to someone because of their race.


Other key events include the Louisiana Purchase, the Texas Revolution, The Spanish-American War, the War of 1812, the purchase of Alaska, the Mexican Cession, the Indian Wars, and the California Gold Rush.


Like I said, the right to vote was extended to all male citizens by the 15th Amendment. Women were not given the right to vote until the 19th Amendment was passed in 1920.
