How Did Pearl Harbor Impact Our Nation

Pearl Harbor impacted our nation in many more ways than one could imagine. The horrendous attack that leads the U.S to take extreme measure on the confinement of all Japanese descendants in the United States. The U.S was wounded, but that only gave the U.S another reason to fight back. During WWI more than 120,000 Japanese-American citizens were assembled and ultimately shipped to internment camps. They had not been transported to the camp because they had been found guilty of a crime, but because they were Japanese or Japanese descendants. The Japanese couldn't be trusted and therefore acted as a potential threat to the nation, something that the U.S could not push aside after the Pearl Harbor attack.
The attack of Pearl Harbor forced the U.S to take the necessary measure to ensure the well being of the U.S. Many Americans believed that within those
Japanese descendants were placed in these camps because Japan had rapid growing military, that grew stronger and stronger, which seemed unstoppable to many American citizens. Many believed that the attack of Pearl Harbor was so successful and impactful because Japan had sent Japanese Americans to areas in Hawaii such as, on the West coast to spy on The U.S.The threat and fear the Japanese placed in the U.S lead its way into newspapers, politicians and even journalism crying for the expulsion of Japanese descendants. As a result the executive order 9066 was created and put into effect on March 1942. A majority of the Japanese descendants placed in internment camps were from the West Coast. The U.S believed that the attack on Pearl Harbor was just a stall for a full attack on the West Coast of America. The West Coast is where a majority of the Japanese descendants lived and it was also where the U.S naval port, and commercial shipping was located at.Thus is why the Executive Order 9066 also protected America's military areas around the West
