Frustrations With Japan

Harbor, the people of the United States mourned. If ever there was a time when Americans

wanted to enter World War II, it was then. The United Sates had been deceived by the Empire of

Japan, with whom they thought they were at peace. Franklin Roosevelt’s speech to Congress,

asking for permission to declare war on Japan, shows the resentment and despair of the American

After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, many Americans felt a lot of resentment against Japan,

and the Japanese. Much of this resentment arose because Japan gave the United States a false

hope of peace between the two countries. Also, from the evidence, it appeared that the attack

was premeditated. Because of the distance between Japan and Hawaii, it was found

. . .
They even had to live in military camps. There are many

similarities between the two documents, but they are showed in an opposite manner. However, things got out of control and the United States government declared that all

people of Japanese decent give up their property and move into assembly centers, in order to

isolate them from the rest of the American people. In

Roosevelt’s speech you see the American determination to defeat Japan and win the war. How horrible for all those innocent people to be

assumed the enemy when they had lived as Americans their whole lives. During the time

before the attack, the Japanese had deceived the United States into believing they were at peace

with one another. The American people, along with the government, wanted nothing

more than to destroy Japan, and win the war.

Because of the bombing by Japan, the American people were mourning the loss of their

soldiers’ lives. This shows how terribly desperate the

American people felt after the Pearl Harbor bombing. Both represent the feelings of the Americans, but

unfortunately, the Monica Sone document shows what extreme measures the American people

were willing to go to protect what they believed to be right. They also were angry with the destruction of the naval and military forces, along

with the attacks on Hong Kong, Guam, the Philippine Islands, Wake Island, and Midway Island

all within hours of each other. To the Americans, regardless of whether you were native born, if

you looked Japanese you were the enemy. They

would go to such extremes to save what they believed to be right and just. In the

Monica Sone document you see the desperation of the American people to protect their country,

and their resentment of the Japanese people. The American government did not want to take

chances, so they gathered all the people of Japanese decent and made them live under military

law.
