LAD#35 FDR's executive order

This executive order is one that is unlike any other order the United States has seen within recent history. Executive order 9066 gave the secretary of war Henry L. Stimson the authority to create war zones in regions of the United States. In other words at this time Japanese Americans were forced out of the place that they called home, and sent to camps where they would be forced to reside. These people were not criminals, or even Japanese citizens, they were US citizens, and at this time all of their civil liberties were being revoked to "protect" the country. The intention of this act was to prevent spies from connecting with Japanese counterparts.In the end however 120,000 Japanese Americans were forced to live in these camps
