Life after the nightmare

The Japanese were put in internment camps to keep order and be sure there are no spys. After the whole ordeal, the U.S needed to do something with all of the Japanese who were ripped from their homes. Many of these helpless American citizens returned to the east coast and tried to start their lifes over. Most of these people lost all their land and were left with no money to buy more. After congress found what they did was wrong, they agreed to help the people out. For every 1 dollar lost, the U.S government will pay 10 cents. This didn't do much to help as you probably already know. It was extremely hard for them to come right out from internment and find jobs and education. This resulted in massive human suffering and not to mention all of the physical and emotional pain of the camps. After time passed, things were almost back to normal but their were still some families that were devastated. Now some families are suing to get paid back for their family's loss. This whole thing is a big lesson to never accuse just because of race or other stupid reasons.
