Revisiting United States History in English

In my own opinion of United States History I still find each historic famous person and or events about American history to be interesting. United States History educates students of their past and how it effect so much of our everyday lives today. I would still rather stick to studying United States History in class, during school. I will admit I would not catch my self studying history on my very own personal time, unless its for a major test. A specific event or topic that I would most gladly enjoy learning about is of the Manzanar Concentration Camps. It is also just like the Holocaust, but my mistake, the Holocaust has nothing to do with United States History. The Manzanar Concentration Camps were made for captivity of the Japanese on March 21, 1942. It was similar to the Jews and the Germans, having the Japanese take place of the Jews and we Americans were the ones taking the Germans place. Committing the same harsh cruelty to a human being, they were all kept in numbers together. Food was indeed scarce at the time. The Japanese would fight over food, water, and shelter. It was also considered survival of the fittest in other terms. Two sources I could possibly use to do research on The Manzanar Concentration Camps is by Internet, or using encyclopedias.
