Detailed explanation-1: -In the next 6 months, over 100, 000 men, women, and children of Japanese ancestry were moved to assembly centers. They were then evacuated to and confined in isolated, fenced, and guarded relocation centers, known as internment camps.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -1) WHY DID FDR ISSUE EXECUTIVE ORDER 9066? After the Pearl Harbor attack, public fear and anger quickly turned on people of Japanese ancestry. These emotions stemmed, in part, from long-standing racial prejudices and rumors and accusations that predated December 7.
Detailed explanation-4: -Many Americans worried that citizens of Japanese ancestry would act as spies or saboteurs for the Japanese government. Fear-not evidence-drove the U.S. to place over 127, 000 Japanese-Americans in concentration camps for the duration of WWII. Over 127, 000 United States citizens were imprisoned during World War II.
