During World War II & the war with Japan, many Japanese-Americans were put into Internment Camps. This was a huge human rights violation. Once the war was over, the president of the United States of America publicly apologized for this violation.
the Japanese bombed pearl harbor, and America was scared. fdr said that japan had planned the bombing, so the Japanese-Americans where put in internment camps.
the japanese were put into war camps because...
they are called refuge camps
Americans.
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.
Not all Japanese Americans were placed in Internment Camps, but the majority were. The ones that were not put in camps were generally Japanese immigrants who did not live near the Pacific.
They weren't put into the camps because they were the largest labor force in Hawaii.

The Japanese Americans that were put in internment camps faced the racism of whites. They were afraid of the hatred of those around them that made threats.
in fear of spies.
