During this chapter, US was truly going through a crisis. Not financially, but through the abuse of their citizens. What I found particularly devastating in this chapter was the Japanese Internment Camps. This was during the time of World War II where we were in war with Japan, and the President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized these internment camps, and anyone behind the Japanese ethnic background would have to be sent away to these camps. It showed there would be more of a difference in what they would have to do. In many ways, there are so many different aspects to this controversy. Sadly, they had their properties taken away and their cherished belongings. People had to grow up their lives in these concentration camps. Sadly, they lost most of their property, and were able to have most of their life guarded.
All the rumors such as xenophobia where it was the fear of foreigners, and McCarthyism, which was the fear of communism. All these fears and phobias came up during WWII only because of all the fears of being attacked. It never made sense to why they wanted to have these reasons, but there were questions to why they were having trials. It seems to me that there were able to have reasoning behind it, but there reasons weren't broad, and was just on biased stand points. That's the one thing I did not enjoy reading about this chapter.
