Japanese internment
On February 19, 1942, Franklin D Roosevelt signed the “Executive Order
9066”. The evacuation order ordered the round-up of 120,000 Americans of
Japanese heritage to one of the 10 internment camps established in California,
Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, and Arkansas. Roosevelt's executive
order was done by anti-Japanese sentiment among farmers who went against
Japanese labor, politicians who sided with anti-Japanese constituencies, and
the general public. The camps where crowed and the living conditions where very
poorly.
In 1944, Franklin D. Roosevelt rescinded the order. The last internment camp was closed by the end of 1945. In 1988, the U.S. Congress passed legislation which awarded formal payments of $20,000 each to the surviving internees.
