Answer:

shock and anger

Step-by-step explanation:

The Bataan death march happened after the Bataan war in Philippines. After the war, the Japanese army captured around 60,000–80,000 American and Pilipino soldiers.

They forced those soldiers to walk around 129.6 miles without foods and water. Starting from Mariveles to San Fernando and from the Capas Train Station. They were abused throughout the march and it resulted in around 18,000 deaths of Filipino soldiers and 500 to 650 deaths of American soldiers.

The inhumane treatment of prisoners will most likely caused shock and anger among American people.
