You’re wrong. The internment camps are a black stain on American history. They are FDR’s shame, the liberals’ legacy,and we should not be excusing them now.
The fact is, in the wake of Pearl Harbor there WAS immense resentment, even hatred in many cases of good loyal Japanese-Americans, and with a war on, it was not possible to post an armed guard with every one of their families, so while there may not have been a dire threat to our national security from real (or imagined) Japanese-American agents-in-place who might have committed acts of sabotage/espionage, it was WAR and whether right or wrong, FDR believed it best to ship them off to those internment camps, and it remains to be seen (and remains open to speculation) IF those Japanese-Americans would have been safe from the righteous anger of Americans who had been sucker punched at Pearl Harbor.
If you want to look for ‘black stains’ I could recommend some things far more reprehensible.

Who was the president during WWII, and what party controlled congress and the Supreme Court?
Below is a reality that has been hidden by the left wing media re German Americans in WWII.
One of the best kept secrets of WWII was the internment of German American men, women and children, away from the rest of America.
Canada and some Latin America countries did the same and interned some Italians.
Why did these evil countries do this. They were at war with the Axis, Germany, Italy and Japan, and they did not want to have acts of terrorism committed against their citizens by possible terrorists.
Did the media label FDR as a Nazi for the internment of Germans, Japanese and some Italians during WWII?
PS: The Canadians had very severe internment camps re locations in hostile climate zones in WWII for Germans, Japanese and Italian Canadians. We never hear about those camps Why, those camps don't fit the left wing agendas.
