After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the American people were horrified to see the nation's naval forces decimated. The American people were legitimately angered by the nature of the sneak attack.

People of Japanese ancestry - loyal Americans - were herded into concentration camps because of fear that they would act as enemy agents. Racist imagery of Japanese people filled the pop culture, and even comic books got into the action with some horribly grotesque racist caricatures.
