Answer 1

The attack on Pearl Harbor had a significant and detrimental impact on how Japanese and Japanese Americans were treated in the United States. The correct responses include:

1. **They were closely watched and made to show paperwork wherever they went.**
2. **Many white Americans did not trust them and questioned their loyalty.**

The U.S. government, driven by fears of espionage and sabotage, implemented policies that led to the internment of around 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II, most of whom were U.S. citizens. This resulted in widespread discrimination, suspicion, and a loss of civil rights for Japanese Americans during that period.
