Japanese internment camps were set up in the USA in WW2 to contain Japanese Americans. An obvious con of the camps were that they infringed on the rights of innocent American citizens. A pro is that they kept non Japanese Americans from panicking.
The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour and the USA then set up internment camps for any Japanese living in the USA. The Japanese were put into internment camps as they were considered a threat to the country. Here in the UK they did the same thing with Italians and Germans living in the UK.
because many Americans feared that Japanese American were spies
Fearing that Japanese living in the United States would help Japan, the government gathered up almost 120,000 Japanese-Americans and resident Japanese aliens and placed them in internment camps. Some people remained in the camps for over three years.
Yes it is true. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, President FDR issued Executive Order 9066 which lead to the relocation of thousands of Japanese-Americans to internment camps. Though not as harsh as concentration camps set up by the Germans, people died and living conditions were rough.
Japanese and Japanese Americans living on the US west coast were placed in internment camps on the claim that spies and sabatouers could be hiding among them. Since Japanese and Japanese Americans living in Hawaii and in the US east of the Mississippi were not forced into camps, and since no American citizens of German or Italian descent were placed in internment camps, the actual reason is more likely related to racial stereotypes and anti-Japanese hysteria.Read more: Why_were_Internment_camps_set_up_for_Japanese_Americans
There was a fear that Japanese/Americans, even second or third generation, would act as an internal threat to America during the second World War with Japan.
The US policy to intern the Japanese Americans (Canadians did too) was unconstitutional. They did not release them even after the US Supreme Court determined it was unconstitutional for the US Government to set of the internment camps, take the Japanese Americans from their homes. They took their homes and businesses too and that was illegal. Some Japanese Americans have received paltry reparations for their illegal internment.

As much as I know there were no Concetraition Camps in Canada, that is a stupid quetion if I have ever heard one.AnswerThere were 26 Internment Camps established in Canada which held Japanese Italian and German Canadians. More than 30,000 were affected by these camps including 100 Canadian Communists. Forty Prisoner of War Camps were set up for 33,798 German and Italian POW's and 6,437 Civil Internees (mostly Merchant Marine).Please note Internment Camps and Concentration Camps are NOT the same thing. Canada not have concentration camps.Side note: the fact that you spelled question wrong leads me to doubt you. :D lol, jk, probably a mistake.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was the president during the entirety of World War 2.
Where they could, they returned to their former homes (normally in California) and started all over again. When they could not regain their property, they sought employment, and worked their way up again; just as an unemployed person would do at any normal time.
