The correct answer is:
c) A place to keep Japanese Americans thought to be disloyal and spies.
Explanation:
1. Japanese-American internment camps were established during World War II by the United States government.
2. These camps were used to detain and confine Japanese Americans, including citizens and non-citizens, who were considered a security risk or potentially disloyal.
3. The internment camps were a result of fear and prejudice following the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan in 1941.
4. More than 100,000 Japanese Americans were forced to live in these camps, which were often located in remote areas and surrounded by barbed wire.
5. The internment of Japanese Americans is now widely viewed as a grave injustice and a violation of their civil liberties.
By confining Japanese Americans in these camps, the government aimed to prevent espionage and sabotage, but in reality, it was based on racial discrimination and unfounded suspicions.
