Which Were forced to leave their homes and move to camps away from the American coasts?
Japanese-Americans.
Who was forced to leave their homes and move to camps away from the american coasts?
Japanese/Americans
Why were thousands of Japanese Americans interned in the relocation camps?
After the event of Pearl Harbor, Americans felt threatened by the Japanese-Americans. The Americans thought the Japanese-Americans on the East coast had contact with their kind in Japan and that they should cut that conact. They immedietly started moving all Japanese-Americans to interment camps all over, but left them the choice of either going to the camps, or going to Japan. Not many moved back to Japan, feeling defient and angry. The Japanese-Americans lived in their camp for under ten years, and then where allowed to leave.

because after pearl harbor we found out japanese american spys gave them pictures and specs on pearl harbors dock and helped the japs bomb it. after that america didnt trust them and put them in containment camps.
What was true about Japanese interment?

How many people died during the Japanese internment?
The situation called for 110,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese who lived along the Pacific coast of the United States to be put into camps spread throughout the United States. Also 7,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese from Latin America were rounded up and transported to the US to the camps. These camps were active from 1942 to 1944. In the Japanese internment camps, they let them live as close to a normal life as they could. They let them order products out of a Sears catalog, grow gardens, let them request the types of food they could eat, and other things to make them have the most "normal of a life" as possible while in containment. But, they were not allowed to leave, communicate with anyone outside the camp, or disobey the people who worked there. By the documents I read, I conclude that no Japanese died in the two years in the camps in the United States. If someone get a document contrary to what I say with the number, I welcome to show it to us.
How were the Japanese in the US affected during the war?
There are numerous wars in history and most of them are irrelevant to Japanese-Americans. Assuming by "the war", the question exclusively refers to World War II, the following is the answer: Unfortunately, racism was a huge part of United States history and Blacks were not the only race to suffer unequal and prejudicial treatment. Asian-Americans did not become accepted as "true Americans" until the mid-1960s. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, many Americans saw the Japanese-Americans as a fifth column. This meant that they viewed the Japanese-Americans as secret spies for Japan and inherently disloyal to the United States. Strangely, from a modern perspective, German-Americans, Irish-Americans, and Italian-Americans, who were much more vociferous opponents of US military policy in World War II were not even considered for discriminatory treatment, showing that this boils down to racism and fear of Asians more than it does legitimate security concerns. In order to deal with this perceived loyalty, the President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942. This order was used to round up Japanese-Americans all along the Pacific coast (the largest area of Japanese-Americans in the United States) and place them in internment camps. In 1944, the US Supreme Court upheld the validity of the camps on the grounds of necessary military action. Surprisingly, the Japanese-American response was not to riot or protest, but to actively seek to assist the United States military in World War II. To "prevent" the Japanese-Americans from being in contact with other Japanese, most Japanese-American units were sent to the Italian Front, where some of them earned the highest amounts of commendations and medals. After the war, the Japanese-Americans were released from the camps without any property of money from which to make a living. However, many of them were resourceful and able to sustain themselves in the following decades. In the 1980s, the US Federal Government admitted its wrongdoing and compensated every family that still had a surviving member from the internment camps for this violation of their civil liberties.
Could Japanese people leave the Japanese internment camps?
Of course they couldn't. Not only were the camps in the middle of nowhere, but they were surrounded by gates with barbed wire on top, and guards. It was pretty much a concentration camp without the killing. Most of the time.
How were Japanese-Americans affected by World War 2?
During World War 2, many Japanese-Americans were put into internment camps or "War Relocation Camps". Many of them were only allowed to take the clothes on their backs or had to pack so quickly that they were unprepared for life in the internment camps.Many of them lost irreplaceable personal property, due to restrictions on what they could take into the camp and to theft and destruction of items that were placed in storage.Many of them lost their property or their tenant farms, or had to sell their farms within a few days at a low price.The Japanese were moved to high security surveillance camps where they were tracked constantly and kept away from the outside world for the American government feared that they were spies.
What is a World War 2 loyalty pledge?
One example of a loyalty pledge occurred with the Japanese Americans on the west coast. Nearly all persons of Japanese ancestry had been forcibly moved from their homes, farms, and jobs to detention camps at Tule Lake, Manzanar, and several other spots. After about a year, the men in detention were given the opportunity to leave the camps if they pledged loyalty to the United States and offered to help the United States in the war effort. Men of draft age were required to sign up for the draft. Most Japanese-American men had few issues with the pledge and wanted out of the awful camps. People at one or two of the camps objected to their treatment and initially refused to sign the pledge, feeling it was unjust. Loyalty pledges were also used for recent German and Italian immigrants, but not with the consistency or consequences forced on the Japanese Americans.
Pearl harber intenment camps?
In 1942, the United States government ordered more than 110,000 men, women, and children to leave their homes and detained them in remote, military-style camps. Manzanar War Relocation Center was one of ten camps where Japanese American citizens and resident Japanese aliens were interned during World War II. http://www.nps.gov/manz
How many Japanese people were killed in the concentration camps?
None. Before and during World War Two, Germany operated what is called 'Concentration Camps'. During the war these German concentration camps became mostly extermination or death campsdesigned to murder the inmates, primarily Jews. Some camps also sent out inmates to be used as slave labor. All the German camps were operated in total violation of international law and well outside all standard norms of behavior. Japan was an enemy of the United States, the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth countries, China and several other countries. Japan was an ally of Germany during the war. The Germans did not put the Japanese in these concentration camps. In the United States, many Japanese were placed in either 'Internment Camps' or 'Relocation Centers', depending on their legal status. Both types of camps or centers were operated in accordance with international law. Those foreign nationals from enemy countries (in the US when the war started) were interned in the Internment Camps only as long as the war lasted, and were freed at the end of the war. In some instances internees were repatriated (returned) back to their home country during the war, in exchange for US citizens being held in enemy countries. No internees were killed by the US.Japanese-Americans, either US citizens or Resident Aliens, were sent to US Relocation Centers, only if they lived on the west coast of the continental United States. After arriving at the camp they were free to leave to any part of the United States, except the "west coast exclusion zone". No Japanese-Americans were killed at relocation centers. Unfortunately there are many myths and misconceptions about the relocation and internment of Japanese in the US. Japanese-American citizens and legal aliens were not relocated from Hawaii, the mid-west or the east coast of the United States. Only those living in the west coast areas were subject to this government action. This government action was upheld by the US Supreme Court upon a legal challenge. There was a great deal of mistrust of the Japanese & Japanese-Americans. Many Japanese-Americans openly voiced support for Japan against the US. Secret 'MAGIC' intercepts of Japanese diplomatic coded traffic by the United States government revealed that many Japanese-Americans were assisting the enemies of the United States. The US government was not able to determine all the details of which persons were traitors, so many remained under suspicion. Japanese-Americans were released from these centers based on various criteria, some well before the end of the war, others later near the end. Most of the Japanese-Americans that were in these centers the longest were from families that were unwilling to swear allegiance to the United States. They were allowed to leave if the joined the US military, or to go to college, or to temporarily move to the areas outside the 'exclusion zone'. The exclusion zone was removed shortly before the end of the war. Any people still in the relocation centers was free to return to their west coast homes.
