You do know it wasn't just Japanese that were detained right? Italians and Germans that were US Citizens were also detained and thrown in camps.

Yes and no- there was never a wholesale internment of Italian and German Americans like there was of Japanese Americans. Essentially for them it was only when there was some cause for suspicion.

During World War II, the U.S. Saw Italian-Americans as a Threat to Homeland Security | History | Smithsonian
Internment of German Americans - Wikipedia

Over 10k Italians and 11k Germans. Maybe not as bad as the Japanese but still bad all the same. Its odd how its NEVER talked about in schools though.

My Grandmother was a German citizen during WWII. The FBI checked her out and let her alone. Since my Grandfather was fighting for the U.S.,she avoided being harassed
Germans who were in the Bundt and were pro Nazi were incarcerated

Still nothing right about it. Its also damn near erased from history books as well. My daughter didn't know about it until I told her and showed her when she was on that subject for "history" class.

Disagree on Japanese Internment during WWII.

We were in a State of National Emergency. It was challenged twice
before SCOTUS during the War and prevailed both times.

The side show ruling 40 years later had little bearing on its legality.

It protected the Country and it protected those Japanese Americans
on the West Coast.

Well we can disagree- the Supreme Court was wrong then- and it still ranks with Dredd Scott as among the worst Supreme Court decisions made.

We were in a national emergency- but it was not necessary- and it was illegal. It was driven largely by racism- Hawaii never interned its Japanese Americans and both Hawaii and its Japanese Americans both survived.

In perspective

The Japs were evil, enemies of the state who attacked Pearl Harbor
In racist United States, they were not treated that badly

Japanese were enemies of the state.

Japanese Americans were U.S. citizens whose ancestors came from Japan- and were Americans- not enemies of the state.

Like slavery, Jim Crow and the destruction of the American Indians- it is one of the great mistakes of America.

In retrospect, it certainly was

However, in the hysteria of post Pearl Harbor America it was understandable. Not many Americans stood up for the rights of the Japanese

We were still 20 years away from ending Jim Crow

That's actually correct.

We were fighting a war to win it...not to be smiled on by the World.
They launched a Surprise attack on Pearl Harbor and were striking
The Phillipines the next day and Wake Island and other US Installations
within a week.

By January this country already had 5,000 dead soldiers and sailors.
(In 4 weeks we had twice as many dead as we've had in A-Stan and we've
been there for 16 1/2 years)
We could have killed every one of those fuckers and nobody would
have batted an eye.

/----/ Actually women were the front for prohibition. It was led by the industrial giants who needed a sober workforce to operate the new manufacturing machines coming on line. One drunk worker losing his arm in a threading machine and thousands of yards of cotton would be stained with blood and guts. Other drunks would fall asleep (passed out) at their workstations. The other drunks fabricated poor quality goods. They used Carrie Nation to lead the charge.

In terms of mass murdering brutality of civilians.
1.) Hiroshima, Nagasaki bombings.
2.) Lincoln's Civil War.
3.) Dresden firebombing.
4.) Vietnam War.
5.) Iraq War.
6.) Tehran, Yalta, and Potsdam Conference for the Soviet Union takeover of Central Europe.
7.) Trail of Tears.
8.) The Slave trade

The slave trade is on Islam.

Because of course there was no slave trade by Christians in America......

No because Islam sold slaves to Christians.

Islam didn't sell anything. There were Muslim slave traders who sold slaves to Christian slave traders who sold them to Christian slave owners. There were also Christian slave traders who bought slaves directly from native tribes and then sold them to Christian slave owners.

And then of course there were also good Christian slave traders here in the United States happily selling slaves to Christians and Jews in the United States.

/----/ And there were Christians who spilled their blood and spent their fortunes to end slavery. And there are Africans who enslave fellow Africans to this day.

This is true. It was Christians who not only spearheaded the movement worldwide to abolish slavery, they CREATED it. No one saw slavery as unusual, it having been part of human history since forever, until Christians began whipping up public sentiment against it and pushing for it to disappear.

trump just didn't happen overnight in the republic party. White nationalism has been growing in the party since Nixon embraced it in the 68' election.

As for the Democratic Party, they were happy to move on the Dixiecrats as a morally bankrupt entity.

The Progressive movement didn't start until 1890, 25 years after the end of the Civil War. The Conservative movement began in 1930, 65 years after the Civil War ended.
The Progressive Era (1890 - 1920) - The George Washington University
The Progressive Era (1890 - 1920) Progressivism is the term applied to a variety of responses to the economic and social problems rapid industrialization introduced to America. Progressivism began as a social movement and grew into a political movement. The early progressives rejected Social Darwinism.
Timeline of modern American conservatism - Wikipedia
Although conservatism has much older roots in American history, the modern movement began to gel in the mid–1930s when intellectuals and politicians collaborated with businessmen to oppose the liberalism of the New Deal, led by President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR), newly energized labor unions, and big city Democratic .
