Why were Japanese Americans placed in internment camps? Do you agree with this? Why or why not? Your answer should be 3-5 complete sentences.(5 points)

Japanese Americans were placed in internment camps during World War II due to fears of espionage and sabotage following the attack on Pearl Harbor. While the government cited national security concerns, many believe this was a violation of their civil rights and unjust targeting of a specific ethnic group. I do not agree with the internment camps as it was a form of discrimination and unjust imprisonment based on race and ethnicity.
