During world war two special arrangements and cooperation's had to be made, the worst one was when the federal government ordered 120,000 Japanese Americans to be relocated to internment camps (prisons) unreasonably, without warning and without even truly thinking it through. These people were merely native born Americans with Japanese parents who were know legally American citizens. The camps were brutal, they were placed in remote abandon towns with harsh weather, bared wire fences, and heavily armed guards at every turn these poor helpless citizens were treated like threats, traitors, or enemy army men, most were not even men, but poor women and even  children! the order was given by to my surprise our own president Franklyn Roosevelt. One hundred twenty thousand people  were sent, but a lot of normal citizens were effected, some people relied on the now prisoners for help, crops, or even entire businesses, these were people who lived normal lives until captured, they could have ran impotent business. The victims were given food much like the hard tack in the civil war, some people there starved  or were unprepared for the harsh weather. What I just don't under stand is how war and enemy's can mess with peoples point of view, Japan was the enemy, but these people had been living peacefully in America they are the same people that politicians told Themselves they were here to serve, but seeing them as there opponents gave them the reason to throw them in jail. It was not until 1942 that they were released, five months after world war two had ended, and they did not apologize until 1988, once these people were released they will never be the same again, what do you think they thought about the atom bomb in there past homes! This was defiantly not a proud moment in American history.
