How Did Yoshiko Yamamoto Use Executive Order 906?

Japanese Internment started from February 19,1942 to June 30,1946.The internment occurred After the Japanese performed a sneak Attack and bombed Pearl Harbor which killed 1,177 crewman.The aftermath of this attack was that Americans were afraid that some of the adopted american citizens of Japanese decent would attack or Japan had them their to spy.So for the panic;President Roosevelt ordered Executive Order 9066 declaring for the exclusion and internment of all Japanese Americans from the West Coast--where the majority of Japanese Americans lived, outside of Hawaii.I believe this Executive order was a negative decision and one of the worst choice america has ever made.

In 1941, the Japanese surprise attacked Pearl Harbor and consequently, the United Stated entered World War II. Thus, in 1942, FDR issued Executive Order No. 9066 which allowed the Secretary of War to designate military areas. The executive order led to Public Law 503 in which Congress made it a criminal offense to violate military orders under Executive Order No. 9066, therefore, allowing the military to begin excluding anyone of Japanese ancestry in the military areas and forcing them to report to internment camps. Fred Korematsu, a Japanese American citizen, willingly refused to evacuate under Civilian Exclusion Order No. 34 and was arrested and convicted. Korematsu appealed his conviction to the Supreme Court where Korematsu V United States was heard with Korematsu as the petitioner and the United States as the respondent.

The relocation of Japanese Americans was an event that occurred within the United States during World War II. On February 19th, 1942, Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, which forced all Japanese Americans living in the West Coast to be evacuated from the area and relocated to internment camps all across the United States, where they would be imprisoned. Approximately 120,000 people were sent to the camps and the event lasted through the years 1942 and 1945. The main cause of the relocation and internment of these people was because of fear made among Japanese people after Japan had bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941. Citizens of the United States had been worrying about the possibility of Japanese residents of the country aiding Japan, and/or secretly trying to destroy American companies.

After the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, many people were dubious towards many Japanese-Americans and believed they were working with Japan. With this, on February 19, 1942, President Roosevelt signed the Executive Order 9066, moving several Japanese-Americans into concentration camps, calling it a “military necessity” (Ewers 1). When this happened, many Japanese-Americans lost everything they had owned such as houses, farms, and their rights as American citizens.

Japanese internment camps from 1942 to 1946 were an exemplification of discrimination, many Japanese Americans were no longer accepted in their communities after the Bombing of Pearl Harbor. They were perceived as traitors and faced humiliation due to anti-Japanese sentiment causing them to be forced to endure several hardships such as leaving behind their properties to go an imprisoned state, facing inadequate housing conditions, and encountering destitute institutions. The Bombing of Pearl Harbor occurred on December 7, 1941 (Why I Love a Country that Once Betrayed Me). This led president Roosevelt to sign the executive order 9066, which authorized the army to remove any individual that seemed as a potential threat to the nation (“Executive Order 9066”) This order allowed the military to exclude “‘any or all persons from designated areas, including the California coast.”’ (Fremon 31). Many Japanese opposed to leave the Pacific Coast on their own free will (Fremon 24) . Japanese Americans would not be accepted in other areas if they moved either.Idaho’s governor stated, Japanese would be welcomed “only if they were in concentration camps under guard”(Fremon 35). The camps were located in Arizona, Arkansas, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, and California where thousands of Japanese Americans eventually relocated. (“Japanese Americans at Manzanar”) The internment lasted for 3 years and the last camp did not close until 1946. (Lessons Learned: Japanese Internment During WW2)

As a Japanese-American immigrant, Sugimoto also had to face the fierce treatment of the government during the World War II. Sugimoto and his family were confined to the temporary internment camp after the Pearl Harbor bombings. Japanese Americans were treated as threat to the United States after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Japanese Americans were forced to sell their properties or leave whatever they had and were sent to live in internment camps. The internment camps were surrounded by military forces and barbed wires. Life in the camps was difficult. Around 60 people lived in the same house in the camp and they weren’t even allowed to work. Japanese Americans were treated like prisoners in their own land. Following Executive Order 9066, which was issued on February 19, 1942, the Sugimoto family--consisting Sugimoto, his wife and his daughter Madeleine--was rounded up in the spring by the army and confined in Pinedale Assembly Center. They were then sent to the Jerome camp in Arkansas, moving to the Rohwer camp in June 1944 when the Jerome camp was closed. The government 's treatment shocked Sugimoto. Believing it was his mission as an

In the year 1942, President Roosevelt signed the “Executive Order 9066,” which created the existence of internment camps and removal of all Japanese-Americans that lived on the west-side of the United States. Roosevelt signed this mostly because of the suspicion of the Japanese-Americans of causing severe damage to the United States. Before the attacks of Pearl Harbor, Japanese-Americans were not thought of much differently as to Americans, other than the fact they were obviously Japanese. The Pearl Harbor bombing caused everyone to keep their focus on the Japanese-Americans. When the Japanese-Americans were moved out to the Internment-camps, some questions were stirred around. Did the government make the correct decision, removing all Japanese-Americans from the West Coast? No, the government did not make the correct decision because a good amount of the Japanese-Americans were innocent, they lost all of their belongings, and having a terrible life within the camps.

On December 7, 1941, Japanese planes attacked the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor. The bombing killed thousands of Americans. This was ultimately the action that brought the United States into World War II. On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066. This “granted the U.S. Military the power to ban tens of thousands of American citizens of Japanese ancestry from areas deemed critical to domestic security” (Konkoly par. 1). The Japanese Americans were relocated to Internment Camps for the duration of the war. Fred Korematsu, in defiance of the order, refused to leave his home in San Leandro, California. He was arrested and convicted of violating Exclusion Order Number 34.

At the time of the attacks on pearl harbor, the president of the united states was Franklin D. Roosevelt. He passed the executive order 9066 in February of 1942. This called for the internment of Japanese-american's in Hawaii and the west coast. Moving over 110,000 of them to 10 internment camps in Northern California. President Roosevelt was unjustified by sending Japanese-american's to the camps just based on their race.

As a result of the order, nearly 120,000 Japanese Americans were dispatched to makeshift “relocation” camps.Despite the internment of their family members, young Japanese-American men fought bravely in Italy, France and Germany between 1943 and 1945 as members of the U.S. Army’s 100th Battalion, 442nd Infantry. Just over two months after Pearl Harbor, U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt (1882-1945) signed into law Executive Order 9066, which resulted in the removal from their communities and the subsequent imprisonment of all Americans of Japanese descent who resided on the West Coast.

In 1942 it gave the secutary of military, order 9066, the power to remove anyone. Anyone of Japanese descent was targeted. The involuntary evacuation forced the Japanese to sell out their business and was only able to take what they can carry on their backs. Lucky ones got 2 weeks and others got a few days. The camps that they were forced to move into were not ready and the very people that was force to move there had to finish building their homes. The locations were in desserts with sand storms and swamps with mosquitos and the location was in isolation. During this time, a few thousand Japanese families had moved to the east to avoid the evacuation and the camps. One person in the camp was fed up and was screaming that we was an American and proceeded to try to walk out but was shot in the stomach by a guard 15 feet away from him. In May 30, 1942, Japanese were not allowed to live in Oakland, California. Fred Korematsu defied the evacuation to stay with his Italian American girlfriend and was arrested. He challenged the government and even went as high as the Supreme Court to get his justice. A month after the Korematsu decision, the camps were to close and for the Japanese to move back home. They were scared they would be discriminated and their property burned but there were no accusations and eventually, Fred Korematsu got

After World War I, the Japanese thought the United States was weak. America did not want to get involved in World War II. So the Japanese figured they could defeat the United States. On December 7, 1941, the Japanese invaded the United States and attacked. It was a very devastating event. So many lives were taken and there was so much damage. This was known as the Attack of Pearl Harbor. President Roosevelt and his executives felt pressured by the Japanese Americans, so he created the Executive Order 9066, which proclaimed that all Japanese Americans in the United States were to be interned in internment camps. Their lives were horrible in the camps. Eventually the male Japanese Americans that were in the camps had to fight for

February 19th, 1942 President Roosevelt authorized the internment of Japanese Americans with Executive Order 9066, which gave the military the powers to relocate all people of Japanese decent from Oregon, Washington and Arizona to California. Approximately one hundred and twenty thousand people were relocated and five thousand community leaders were arrested after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Japan’s rapid military conquest of a large portion of Asia and the Pacific between 1936 and 1942 made its military forces seem unstoppable to Americans. The attack resulted in the internment of German and Italian citizens of the United States as well in Canada.

Executive Order No. 9066 Which stated that all Japanese American citizens living on the west coast from Washington to Arizona will be taken from their home and sent to internment camps during WWII. More than 127,000 United States citizens were sent to internment camps during World War II for merely being of Japanese ancestry(Roosevelt, 1942). They sent even

    Two months after Pearl Harbor,President FDR issued 9066 which meant that the U.S government relocated Japanese citizens to what they call Japanese Internment Camps.They interned 120,000 Japanese citizens both Japanese immigrants themselves also known as Issei or Japanese citizens born in the United States also known as Nisei.These internment camps operated from 1942 to 1946 and to our government four decades to apologize to Surviving Internees.These people were forced to give away
