Answer 1

The United States home front during World War II supported the war effort in many ways, including a wide range of volunteer efforts and submitting to government-managed rationing and price controls. There was a general feeling of agreement that the sacrifices were for the national good during the war.

During World War II, women filled job positions that were traditionally male-dominated.

The internment of Japanese Americans in the United States during World War II was the forced relocation and incarceration in concentration camps in the western interior of the country of about 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry, most of whom lived on the Pacific Coast.

Many were sent directly to Department of Justice internment camps where they were held anywhere

Hoover opposed the lifting of the exclusion orders preventing Japanese Americans from returning to the West Coast until after the 1944 elections. One reason for his opposition to mass removal of japanese Americans likely had to do with burnishing the reputation of the FBI, whom he felt had already identified and imprisoned any "dangerous" Japanese Americans by the time EO 9066 had been issued. In his biography of Hoover, Richard Gid Powers also argues that Hoover simply didn't consider race or ethnic origin a stigmatizing factor with regard to loyalty, writing that he "would therefore reject any system of punishment that applied equally to the loyal and the disloyal simply because of their race; for Hoover the distinction between loyalty and/disloyalty was too important to be subordinated to any other test or standard."
