i have a history problem on it and i need to know if they were consider linked or isolated events please explain why they are either one
i know they were dif time periods but like did the people who issued the jap interment camps get the idea from the trail of tears
 
Isolated events. The trail of tears was when all of the native americans were marched across the country into their reservations. The japanese interment camps occurred during WWII.
 
I thought the Trail Of Tears had to do with Native Americans.

trail of tears-1831
Japanese internment: 1939-1941
 
The only links (and probably what your problem is about) would be if they were similar in whatever ways (US government opressing an ethnic group, etc). The events themselves were distinct and disconnected.
 
The trail of tears has to do w/ the Cherokee Indians in the 1830's I believe (it was during Andrew Jacksons term as president) The army/calvary moved the indians onto reservations.

The Japanese interment camps were basically prison camps during WWII in which they would conduct expiraments on live soldiers. Such as dissect a man alive, or preform an amputation w/out administering any antistethic

I don't think the two are really related except for the fact that there was an injustice done on both counts.
