I do not think that Roosevelt 's actions were justified in the internment of Japanese-American citizens, because there was very little evidence that the Japanese citizens were a threat to the rest of America. The Executive Order 9066 led to a lot of changes for Japanese-American citizens. The Executive Order 9066 was signed by President Roosevelt two weeks after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and this authorized the removal of any or all people from military areas "as deemed necessary or desirable." This affected the Japanese-American citizens because the military then defined the entire West Coast, which was home to the majority of Japanese-Americans, as a military area. This then led them to relocate to internment camps, built by the U.S military in scattered locations around the country.

Japanese-American Relocation in the U.S. During World War II During World War II, many Japanese Americans were relocated by the orders of President Roosevelt. The launch of this war was due to the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941 as the national security was feared mainly on the west coast. The order was made to relocate all persons inland, citizens and noncitizens, who are part of a Japanese descent, mainly to prevent any infiltration and protection from those Americans who would want to take anger out on the Japanese. Since this order, 117,000 Japanese- Americans were affected, and about 66% were native-born citizens to the U.S.

With the outbreak of World War II in Europe in 1939, Americans decided to draw from their experience in World War I and remain neutral. To reinforce the fact that the US would not be participating in the War, between 1935 and 1939 Congress passed Neutrality Acts to keep the US from ever being pulled into foreign affairs. Even though Americans were politically neutral, this did not stop many Americans from having opinions on the War. Many of the Americans who were European immigrants showed sympathies for their former countries and were not quiet in their support. In addition to this, the actions of the US were also not particularly isolationist as they proclaimed as it became clear that the United States quietly lended more support to the Allied Powers rather than the Axis.

Japan, the US, and Race in WWII In the year 1941 during the midst of World War II, Harvard professor Edwin O. Reischauer wrote in “Memorandum on Policy Towards Japan,” that “Japan is attempting to make her war against the United Nations into a holy crusade of the yellow and brown peoples for freedom from the white race” (2). It seems unfair, however, to place the primary blame on Japan for the incorporation of racial ideology and propaganda into the war, as many other countries did this, including the United States to a large extent. Ultimately, in dire situations, people will attempt to rally their troops and garner support in any way possible, and using race happens to be a very effective method. In regards to the racialization of the war

Many Americans value freedom and believe it is necessary to live a happy and meaningful life. To experience this sense of independence, many immigrants immigrated to America. However, American essayist H.L. Mencken contradicts this, asserting that not everyone desires to be free, rather they primarily desire attaining safety. Although freedom is necessary, safety has more importance in contemporary society during situations like global pandemics and world wars. When pandemics strike the world, people prefer safety over individual liberty because taking precautions for the public's health is necessary.

This paper talks about the Japanese American internment during the Second World War. The internment experience has been recorded in many scholarly books by Asian American writers, most of them having race difference and conflict with American hegemony as themes. Yet, even after so many years, the general public has little or no awareness about this bleak period. What is even less known is that there were many creative artists in the camps who managed to produce various kinds of works of art, when left miserably within those government-made ghettos. This paper studies these works of art as visual records of the internment, making the past perceivable, as artefacts of a distant and suppressed historical incident.

When most people think about World War II the first event that comes into their minds is the Holocaust that lasted from January 30, 1933 until May 8, 1945. But another event also took place during World War II that many people including Americans tend to forget. The event that took place right here on American soil called the Japanese-American Internment that lasted from February 19, 1942 until March 20, 1946. Even though both of these historical events don’t always get the same recognition that they deserve, there are many similarities but also differences between them. “The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators.”
