Carleen · Answer 2

The correct answer is B) many were interned base on poorly supported accusations.

Explanation:

Even though internation of German and Italian Americans was not large-scale like Japanese Americans, they were also interned or relocated mainly because of the fear these citizens were enemies infiltrating the nation. Due to this paranoia, poorly supported accusations - factors like newspaper or magazines suscriptions - were enough to justify their internment in camps, supported by the application of the Alien Enemy Act of 1798
