After the attack upon Pearl Harbor that was commited without warning, the United States declared war on Japan. The citizens of America knew that there were Japanese - Americans living in the United States. They were worried that any one of the Japanese living in America could be a spy or a sabateur. To make sure that this did not happen president Roosevelt ordered that the Japanese - Americans be placed in relocation camps. Unlike the concentration camps in Europe, the relocation camps were more hospitable. The inhabitants of the camps were given appropriate quarters and were treated fairly, but were surrounded by a barbed wire fence with guards and towers.
