• The hatred toward the Japanese Americans was
  equal to that which was shown towards those who
  were accused of witchcraft.

• Another fear of the Japanese was introduced
  through leaks of faulty intelligence about there
  being Japanese special intelligence agents in the
  west coast area.
• This connects to the way the girls could charge
  anyone in Salem with witchcraft and people
  believed them like during the time when Putnam's
  daughter charged George Jacobs.

Long-term Effects

  government paid 20,000 to every living person
  that had been in one of the camps in order to
  compensate for their suffering
