In Chapter 11 of Farewell to Manzanar (entitled 'Yes Yes No No'), the government began requiring everyone in the camps who were over the age of seventeen to swear to a Loyalty Oath. The oath consisted of two yes-or-no questions (hence the chapter title). The first question asked whether one was willing to serve in the U.S. Army, and the second question asked whether one would swear allegiance to the U.S. and renounce their allegiance to Japan.
