Question

Imagine you are living in Los Angeles in 1944 and have just read about the case of Korematsu v. the United States. Write a letter to the editor of the Los Angeles Times telling which opinion in the case (majority or dissenting) you support and explain why.

Answer 1

If I were to write a letter regarding this case, I would speak against the verdict. Komatsu like majority of Japanese Americans came to the U.S. to live a better life. Many of them enlisted in the U.S. army to prove that they were just as loyal as any White American. I believe this verdict was unjust.
