Thousands of Japanese-Americans were forced to live in Japanese internment camps in the U.S. There were really no benefits to the relocation and it proved to be the largest violations of civil liberties in American history.

∙ 12y agoThe Japanese internment camps were created after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. US President Franklin Roosevelt reacted to this violent attack by issuing Executive Order 9066, which evacuated anyone of Japanese orgin living in a large area of the west coast. A lot of the internment was unjust and rash, but America was in a state of war and panic. Roosevelt made the decision to take action so that there was less of a chance that people living in the US would be providing internal information that would result in additional attacks. The internment camps were for national security during a state of war.
