102 Words1 Page

Many times in history, people have been blamed for things they never did. Just like the Japanese Americans were blamed for the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The bombing of Pearl Harbor took place on December 7, 1941, when Japanese bombers and fighters strafed through the air and dropped bombs on American ships. This scared Americans because they knew could be bombed too at any moment no matter where they lived, but especially on the West Coast. Pearl Harbor scared Americans, so Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed an executive order to force Japanese Americans in Internment Camps so they could not conspire with Japan.
