Roosevelt signed an executive order declaring all Japanese-Americans to relocate from the west coast. The devastation of the attack on Pearl Harbor led to rumors, caused by racism, about a plot among the Japanese- Americans to sabotage the U.S to help their homeland. This fear marked the end of complete freedom for the Japanese and caused the U.S to commit on of the most blatant misuses of civil liberties in American history. 10 internment camps sprung up around the country that would become many Japanese Americans homes during World War 2. As the Japanese were forced from their homes many actually were forced to sell their property at a much lower cost than they were worth. This hit the Japanese- Americans hard financially and left them without any assets coming out of the camps. Social problems also became evident among the internees as the older immigrants were not given their traditional respect from others when their American born children were given more authoritative responsibility around the camp as officers and government officials. The following are Photographs of Japanese leaving for Internment Camps. The photo shown Japanese-Americans transferring from train to bus at Lone Pine, California, that is destined for war relocation authority center at Manzanar. From the photo we can see the sheer number of internees in just one area and the emotion coming from them that can only be described as uncertainty.
