Why do you think only the Japanese Americans on the west coast were affected by executive order 9066?

Executive Order 9066 primarily targeted Japanese Americans on the West Coast due to wartime fears and racial prejudice following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The West Coast had a significant population of Japanese Americans, which made them more visible and perceived as a potential security risk. Additionally, military leaders argued that the proximity to the Pacific coast presented a greater threat of espionage or sabotage. Other regions with smaller Japanese American populations were less affected, as there was less perceived risk and political pressure to implement such drastic measures.


What countries exported the most slaves to America?

At the height of the slave trade, Africa did not have nationalistic countries as we think of them, today. There were large areas of the continent that were controlled by particular tribes. Originally, most of the slaves came from West Africa, but as the practice spread, West African Tribes began enslaving East Africans and transporting them to the Gold Coast. Eventually, even the slave ships ventured to the eastern coast of Africa, and traded in slave to India and the Middle East as well.
