University of Central Florida The Good War World War II Discussion Paper

“The Good War”: World War II

During World War II, many commentators noted that the United States seemed to be fighting a war against tyranny and racial hatred abroad while supporting many of those same behaviors at home. How did the authors of the assigned documents in this module address this apparent contradiction? Reference at least one of the short documents from this this week’s readings in Voices of Freedom in your answer.

By 11:59 pm on Friday, write a 300-word discussion board post in response to the prompt. In your response, you must quote or make reference to at least one of the documents assigned for reading in this module. You may also use material addressed in the lecture videos.

Document 157 – Justice Robert A. Jackson, Dissent in Korematsu v. United States (1944)
