LAD #35: FDR's Executive Order #9066

This was an order put into use by the president during World War II which allowed Japanese Americans to be placed in relocation camps. This put nearly 120,000 Japanese Americans into these internment camps. Although this order was mainly targeted at Japanese Americans, it also had an effect on German Americans and Italian Americans. These two groups saw 11,000 of German ancestry put into camps and 3,000 of Italian ancestry. This act showed the hatred towards the enemies in war and how strong the resentment was towards these countries and their actions.
