The Impact Of President Roosevelt On Japanese American Internment

President Roosevelt was not justified in issuing the order for internment for Japanese Americans because was in violation for moral human rights and provided unequal protection under the law. Roosevelt's decision on incarcerating the Japanese American citizens out of fear was wrong and I do not believe he was at all justified in his decision. President Roosevelt's decision on Executive Order 9066 was unjustified for various reasons that will be explained and show the truth behind why he was not and is not justified in his actions.
