decent and made them live under militarylaw. They even had to live in military camps. How horrible for all those innocent people to beassumed the enemy when they had lived as Americans their whole lives.In the Monica Sone document, it is evident that, at first, the government was looking toonly interview the important people in the Japanese community to ensure none of them werespies. However, things got out of control and the United States government declared that allpeople of Japanese decent give up their property and move into assembly centers, in order toisolate them from the rest of the American people. This shows how terribly desperate theAmerican people felt after the Pearl Harbor bombing.Looking at Franklin Roosevelt’s speech and Monica Sone’s document memoire, it isevident how desperate the American people were to save their country and destroy Japan. Theywould go to such extremes to save what they believed to be right and just. There are manysimilarities between the two documents, but they are showed in an opposite manner. InRoosevelt’s speech you see the American determination to defeat Japan and win the war. In theMonica Sone document you see the desperation of the American people to protect their country,and their resentment of the Japanese people. Both represent the feelings of the Americans, butunfortunately, the Monica Sone document shows what extreme measures the American peoplewere willing to go to protect what they believed to be right....
