FDR signed over 3700 executive orders, one of which included the internment of 120,000 Japanese Americans. Was he a nazi? As Americans, we need to start making honest, and at times painful, assessment that even the Presidents I may admire, and not just the ones I personally do not like (which includes Trump), have contributed to the crossroads we may be at today.

In fact, with your permission, I would like to dive deeper into it and write a paper about it.
I surmise that factors such as cultural and technology differences between the eras, media biases, and war time vs peace time issues will all be relevant. Also, I bet there is case law on the topic that strengthened Due Process rights as a direct result of theJapanese camps. It’s a profoundly interesting topic. This is what I truly love about this platform. I get so much out of listening to differing opinions and points of views. Thank you!
