Was the United States justified in interning Japanese Nationals and Japanese-American citizens? Why or why not?

I will share with you various thoughts and events surrounding the Japanese internment. Then, you should be able to come to a conclusion.

After Japan attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, there was a concern in this country about the loyalty of the Japanese who were living in the United States. People were concerned that they would sabotage our war effort and support the government of Japan. These people believed that rounding up the Japanese and moving them away from the West Coast would make it less likely for them to aid Japan during the war.

Those who were against this idea believed the forced relocation violated their civil liberties. There was no proof that the Japanese were disloyal. However, the Supreme Court upheld the relocation. In 1988, the government formally apologized to the Japanese. Each surviving person who was interned was also given a payment of $20,000.
