As our warm-up today, we started with two wiki ids, Japanese internment camps and the Four Freedom's. As I said yesterday, the Japanese internment camps were camps that Japanese were put in due to prejudice towards them after Pearl Harbor. They were forced to sell their belongings, homes, businesses, etc. within 48 hours of being notified and forced into these prison camps. The Four Freedom's were the freedom of speech, the freedom of worship, the freedom of want, and the freedom of fear, in which FDR talked about in his Annual Message to Congress/ State of the Union Address on January 6, 1941. Juxtaposed to other fascist, communist, or supreme nations, these goals symbolized inspiration and gave American's a worthy cause for the war, which set them apart from other countries.
After our warm-up, we got the timeline, yet I'm not really sure why we needed it. I guess it was to help the groups of partners working on the CER's for the McCollum memo, in which we had to have two sources, proving the memo's validity or lack of validity. Jaynie and I proved that the McCollum memo was indeed real because it was (probably) not coincidental that FDR went through with all of the 8 steps that the memo suggested, without having seen it... USA did in fact end up going through with the 8 steps to provoke Japan. Why wouldn't it be valid then?? While researching the web to confirm the memo's validity, I discovered that there is a book called "Day of Deceit: The Truth about FDR and Pearl Harbor" in which a historian talks about the truth of the McCollum memo and more.
