For the APUSH Exam you MUST know what America is doing home and abroad. One of the worst things America did was forcing 120,000 Japanese Americans to live in Internment camps across the nation. Americans were xenophobic, and afraid after Pearl Harbor there would be another homeland attack, or Japanese Americans were spying and telling secrets to Japan. Thankfully it was only till 1945, but dang that was too long. President Roosevelt said it was his biggest mistake as President issuing this Executive Order, and he regretted it!
Below is George Takei's TED Talk. He is a famous actor best known as Sulu in Star Trek. He was 4 years old when his family was interred. It is an AMAZING Talk that would be worth the watch!
