How the US Incarcerated over 100,000 Japanese Americans during World War 2

On February 19, 1942, following the growing distrust towards Japanese Americans, President Roosevelt enacted Executive order 9066 which allowed the alienation and segregation of Japanese Americans. The executive order permitted the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans by relocating them to Internment Camps; those who did not comply were evicted from their homes and had their assets frozen. World War 2 developed into a war on skin color and ethnicity. If you were Japanese, you did not belong in America anymore. You could not live in your homes. You could not go to school. You could not be Americans. You were an enemy.
