Post-War

__ Post Japanese American Internment __ - Seeing what happened to their Issei (first generation Japanese immigrants) the Nisei (second generation) wanted to claim rightful place in America - Those who returned to homes where lived before the war found their houses vandalized - Many farms/ fields were in shambles from neglect or lost to new owners -Faced housing and employment discrimination - Shared houses with friends and relatives - Found rooms in boarding homes or clustered together in trailer parks -the relocation camps were justified as a "military neccessity"

-40 years later the government said the camps were actually based on racial bias rather than a true threat to national security -Civil Liberties act of 1988 -served as a formal apology -created a fund for public education of the event - restitution to individuals of Japanese ancestry who were interned
