Detailed explanation-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.
Detailed explanation-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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The last Japanese internment camp closed in March 1946. President Gerald Ford officially repealed Executive Order 9066 in 1976, and in 1988, Congress issued a formal apology and passed the Civil Liberties Act awarding $20, 000 each to over 80, 000 Japanese Americans as reparations for their treatment.
Detailed explanation-4: -Between 1942 and 1945 a total of 10 camps were opened, holding approximately 120, 000 Japanese Americans for varying periods of time in California, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Arkansas.
