Um yes the material was sent to Britain and the Soviet Union, but Roosevelt got around the Neutrality act provisions by enacting the Lend-Lease Act where Britain traded military bases and war materials. It was a fine example of a legislative end run. On Fri, May 14, 2010 at 3:24 PM, G Money wro

While there were POW camps for German and Italian prisoners, there were no internment camps for German-American or Italian-American civilians, like there were for the Japanese American civilians. The internment of the Nisei was racism pure and simple. On Fri, May 14, 2010 at 1:29 PM, Eric Roberts
