world war 2


I have traveled back in time to world war two. There were many things that they did that was wrong.After the attack on the U.S naval base at pearl harbor people started to be mean to the japanese people in America because they were japanese and the japanese had just attacked the pearl harbor so many shops put out signs for the japanese to stay away,there were alot of incidents were americans would destroy japanese americans property,also people would do things to the japanese americans like when they went to get their mail they would have to go in and ask for it instead of getting it from their mailbox this way the post man and others could ask them questions. On Febuary 19,1942 president Frankin D. Roosevelt issued an executive order stating thaty all japanese alien and non-alien were to be evacuated from the west coast and that they had one week to pack all the stuff they could carry and get rid of everything else, and that is exactly what they did, they sold or buried the stuff that they were un able to carry with them then one week later they were evacuated to horse stalls.They had them in the horse stalls for about six months the living conditions in the stalls were terrible, there was dirt and sand on the floor, there was alot of people assigned to each stall and it was very small and cramped,and they had to sleep and sacks full of hay.
After about six months there was a rumor going around that they were going to be moved inland to another camp and that is exactly what happened, they were moved into the desert into another camp that was a little bigger and roomier it was cleaner and it had a stove in their huts for them to use, it was a lot more easier for them to live in there were more bathrooms for people and it was better conditions then the horse stall.
