Question

Was the treatment of Japanese Americans during WWII justified or an

unfortunate setback for democracy?
Explain your reasoning below

Answer 1

Fred Korematsu challenged the legality of Executive Order 9066 but the Supreme Court ruled the action was justified as a wartime necessity. It was not until 1988 that the U.S. government attempted to apologize to those who had been interned. On the whole, however, life in the relocation centers was not easy.
