∙ 9y agoThey were called Japanese Internment Camps. During World War 2, following Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt ordered that all Americans of Japanese ancestry who lived on the Pacific coast were to be relocated to camps in the interior of the US.
The facilities were spartan, with tar paper barracks that were cold in the winter and hot in the summer. They had been built quickly and were designed as military barracks rather than as family living quarters.
Children were expected to attend school. Adults had the option of working for a salary of $5 per day. Armed guards were stationed at the camps and were to shoot anyone who attempted to walk outside the fences.
