LAD 35

In WWI there was a similar anti German hate in America
like there was during WWII
Image result for japanese internment campsExecutive order 9066 was FDR allowing the secretary of War, a member of his cabinet, the power to create military zones. This was actually ordered with the intended purpose of, post pearl harbor, creating internment camps for US citizens who are racially of axis power background, specifically the Japanese on the west cost. Following pearl harbor there was a huge scare that many Japanese Americans, even though they were actually still Americans who considered themselves Americans, were spies for Japan and conspiring against the United States of America dude. about 112,000 Japanese Americans during WWI were shipped off to interment camps which were basically just concentration camps or prisons for these innocent families with horrible conditions. at the end of the war upon their release many of them had homes destroyed and were left with nothing to return to. several years later, when obviously it was mch too late, Gerald Ford gave a speech apologizing to the Japanese Americans on the behalf of America.
