Why did American's put Japanese people into internment camps During world war II?
I'm not sure exactly. This is a way to get started. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Americans feared that the Japanese living in the United States would do something bad and were somehow linked to the goverment.
How did America respond after the bombing of Pearl Harbor?
The American response to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was to recognize that they were at war with the Empire of Japan. This caused them repair the damage of the attack, build up their armed forces, resist Japanese forces in the western Pacific, and, with allies, defeat the Japanese armed forces and to occupy Japan. A more general and long-term response, better called a lesson learned, was to always be on the alert against attack, and never to assume that just because we take Sunday off, an enemy would too.
What are facts about Whitcomb Judson?
Whitcomb L Judson was born in March in the year 1839 in Illinois. Mr. Judson attended Knox College in Illinois. He was there to become an engineer. In his earlier Elementary and Middle School days, he did not enjoy school. In fact, he had a hard time in it. Now, let's go up to his older days again. His spouse was Annie. He had three children: Gertrude, Ross and Jane. He then invented the "clasp-locker", which is now known as the zipper. He did so in 1893. Why did he invent it? Well, it was to go on shoes because he wanted to "save" people from unbuttoning and buttoning their shoes. Yes, I know, I know, zippers aren't on shoes! They are on jackets, pants, and other stuff. But this is way back in the 1800's. When Mr. Judson first presented his invention at the Chicago World's Fair, the public largely ignored it. Yet, it is so popular now! Mr. Judson's nationality is American. Unfortunately, he died before his invention was well-known and useful. In 1913, Swedish-American engineer Gideon Sundback improved the zipper.
Why was Illinois so important in the civil war?
From the strategic point of view: 1 - Its railway network running from the River Mississippi Eastward, which linked the important Union States' railways along the line of the River Ohio. 2 - Illinois controlled the course of the River Mississippi up to its confluence with the River Ohio about 250 kilometers southward from the vital position of St. Louis, which gave also a strategic predominance over the western Missouri. 3 -The salient from St.Louis to the said confluence was representing a way of further penetration in the Tennessee, once the Union would have secured the positions of Cairo and Paducah.
