EXPLANATIONS BELOW
Concept note-1: -The attack on Pearl Harbor also launched a rash of fear about national security, especially on the West Coast. In February 1942, just two months later, President Roosevelt, as commander-in-chief, issued Executive Order 9066 that resulted in the internment of Japanese Americans.
Concept note-2: -The Japanese American relocation program had significant consequences. Camp residents lost some $400 million in property during their incarceration. Congress provided $38 million in reparations in 1948 and forty years later paid an additional $20, 000 to each surviving individual who had been detained in the camps.
Concept note-3: -The act explained that “racial prejudice, wartime hysteria and a lack of political leadership” led to the forced removal of people of Japanese ancestry. Some of the relocation camp sites have become National Historic Sites under the US National Park Service.
Concept note-4: -Motivated by racism after Pearl Harbor bombing. Japanese were seen as a threat to the U.S. citizens, even the Japanese-Americans. In order to keep these suspicious citizens under control, they were relocated to internment camps in order to become “Americanized” under conditions that were not ideal.
