Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Define and discuss the meaning of the words “loyalty” and “loyal.”
How might this definition change during times of war? Hint: see Service form the CSUJAD exhibit. Do you have to agree with all of the policies of the government at all times? How might you appropriately demonstrate your discontent? Discuss the complexity of how a government agency might determine a citizen’s loyalty? What did loyalty mean to the people of Japanese ancestry incarcerated during WWII? How did their views change over time? What caused or contributed to these changes? Can you identify specific incidents on the timeline?
