what was one way japanese americans resisted internment
Answers
Koshiyama, 74, of San Jose, is one of 315 Japanese Americans who protested the loss of their constitutional rights in World War II by refusing to fight for their country until the government freed them and their families from wartime internment camps.
The mass removal of 120,000 Japanese Americans from the West Coast in 1942 and their incarceration for most of the war is considered a blot on American history. In 1988, internees received a national apology and $1.2 billion in redress for their losses and suffering.
The camps, regarded as a seminal part of the Japanese American experience, have long evoked images of unprotesting internees - resigned, frightened and bitter but compliant. But the draft resisters, along with others who expressed their objections in different ways, reflect stories of protest and resistance in the camps - stories that were the genesis of deep schisms that still divide Japanese Americans today.
The one way Japanese Americans resisted internment was that they refused to fight for their country during the World War II until the government freed them and their families.
During the World War II, the Japan fought against the United States and US got suspicious of Japanese Americans and thus were incarcerated in wartime internment camps. Japanese Americans resisted by refusing to fight for US during the war.
