During World War II, the United States was fighting overseas for “democracy.” On the home front, was the United States living up to its ideals of democracy and freedom? Explain.
The United States got involved in WWII after Pearl Harbor got attacked by Japan. The U.S. sent out all their soldiers and any eligible 18+ male to fight in the war. Meanwhile all the Japanese/Americans were put in isolated camps here in the United States because they were considered a "threat" to our country. The Japanese internment camps are now considered one of the most atrocious violations of American civil rights in the 20th century.
