Propaganda+and+Bias



Propaganda and Bias were a major part of the relocation of Japanese-Americans during World War II. It went on all around the country but especially on the west coast. There were many different types of propaganda but the main ones were; exutive orders and posters.The Results were the Japanese-Americans being falsley accused of being spies and helping put Japan during times of war they were either sent to jail or them and there families were interned to relocation camps.

Posters were the most common source for propadanda, they were depicted as evil and were treated as unequal to other people living in America.Some eve showed Japanese-Americans as monsters and other things that could frighten American citicens. Theese are what most posters looked like during world war II and they made most peole scared ,And gave people reason to exclude or have a bias against them. Executive orders were also common sources for propaganda and bias in America They made Americans think that ALL Japanese were disloyal just like executive order 9066; Whereas, The successful prosecution of the war requires every possible protection against espionage and against sabotage to national defense material, national defense premises and national defense utilities as defined in Section 4, Act of April 20, 1918, 40 Stat. 533 as amended by the Act of November 30, 1940, 54 Stat. 1220. and the Act of August 21, 1941. 55 Stat. 655 (U.S.C., Title 50, Sec. 104): Now, therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me as President of the United States, and Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, l hereby authorized and direct the Secretary of War, and the Military Commanders whom he may from time to time designate, whenever he or any designated Commander deem such action necessary or desirable to prescribe military areas in such places and of such extent as he or the appropriate Military Commander may determine, from which any or all persons may be excluded, and with respect to which, the right of any person to enter, remain in, or leave shall be subject to whatever restriction the Secretary of War or the appropriate Military Commander may impose in his discretion.
