The Pearl Harbor Response
The proposition of Internment Camps were first raised by General John L. Dewitt in the name of natonal security. With the devastation of the Pearl Harbor attack, the security of the nation felt compromised by several citizens and the American Government itself as several drastic measures were proposed in order to regain an advanage. The order proposed by the the General himself suggested the removal of all Japanese Americans from the West Coast. Which recieved heavy opposition for it's blantantly discrimatory intentions drawing on decades of Anti Japanese sentiment.
