FDR's Executive Order #9066
This order was used during WWII in which Japanese Americans were placed in relocation camps or concentration camps. But they were not killed here, only moved to be surpervised. In these camps, they targeted primarily Japanese Americans because although at war with German and Italians, the Japanese had actually attacked us. This showed the hatred towards the Japanese and how much of an effect the war and the bombing of Pearl Harbor had on all Americans. The camps were created in the mid west so they were at least not too far away from the coast where many had lived.
