Americas Civil Rights Violations During World War II: The
Japanese American Story
HIST 3051 - World War II
University of Cincinnati
Introduction
In the months following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and
World War II, the American Government continued to discriminate
against, isolated, and interned Japanese American citizens. The steps
taken from 1941 through the war's end have been analyzed and
questioned since. In hindsight, the actions taken were a severe
overreach by the federal government. The actions at the time resulted
from fear of a paranoid government, and the civilian population was
surprised and stunned by the traumatic events of December 7, 1941.
Executive Orders
President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 nearly
two months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Executive Order 9066
approved the relocation of Japanese Americans into internment camps
to curb potential Japanese espionage. At first, the relocations were
completed voluntarily. However, the six months following, over one
hundred thousand Japanese American citizens were placed into
“relocation camps.” This order would remain in effect until President
Harry S. Truman signed Executive Order 9742 on June 25, 1946.
Conditions
In the winter of 1942, Franklin D. Roosevelt issued executive order
9066, thus stripping American citizens of Japanese descent of their
civil right to live freely. In its original form, the order made it
voluntary for Japanese American living on the west coast of the
United States to move to “relocation camps.” Many affected citizens
did as ask, leaving their homes and possessions behind. They were
able to take a suitcase and only what they could carry. Within six
months, the relocations became mandatory. At this point, the United
States established concentration camps to intern its citizens, not
entirely unlike what was happening in Europe at the time.
Upon arrival at a relocation Center, each family was assigned to a
room compartment about 20 x 25 feet. Barren, unattractive, a stove, a
light bulb, hot mattresses, and a blanket. Those were the things
provided by the government. These conditions were wholly opposed
to American standards of living.
Conclusion
It would not be until the summer of 1946 that President Harry S.
Truman would overturn Executive Order 9066. Japanese Americans
returned to their homes to find them in disrepair and their belongings
looted. With the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, President Ronald Reagan
approved dispersing twenty thousand dollars to each survivor of the
Japanese Internment camps. In this author's opinion that gesture
hardly makes up for the deprivation of rights.

two months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Executive Order 9066
approved the relocation of Japanese Americans into internment camps
to curb potential Japanese espionage. At first, the relocations were
completed voluntarily. However, the six months following, over one
hundred thousand Japanese American citizens were placed into
“relocation camps.” This order would remain in effect until President
Harry S. Truman signed Executive Order 9742 on June 25, 1946.
Conditions
In the winter of 1942, Franklin D. Roosevelt issued executive order
9066, thus stripping American citizens of Japanese descent of their
civil right to live freely. In its original form, the order made it
voluntary for Japanese American living on the west coast of the
United States to move to “relocation camps.” Many affected citizens
did as ask, leaving their homes and possessions behind. They were
able to take a suitcase and only what they could carry. Within six
months, the relocations became mandatory. At this point, the United
States established concentration camps to intern its citizens, not
entirely unlike what was happening in Europe at the time.
Upon arrival at a relocation Center, each family was assigned to a
room compartment about 20 x 25 feet. Barren, unattractive, a stove, a
light bulb, hot mattresses, and a blanket. Those were the things
provided by the government. These conditions were wholly opposed
to American standards of living.
Conclusion
It would not be until the summer of 1946 that President Harry S.
Truman would overturn Executive Order 9066. Japanese Americans
returned to their homes to find them in disrepair and their belongings
looted. With the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, President Ronald Reagan
approved dispersing twenty thousand dollars to each survivor of the
Japanese Internment camps. In this author's opinion that gesture
hardly makes up for the deprivation of rights.

civil right to live freely. In its original form, the order made it
voluntary for Japanese American living on the west coast of the
United States to move to “relocation camps.” Many affected citizens
did as ask, leaving their homes and possessions behind. They were
able to take a suitcase and only what they could carry. Within six
months, the relocations became mandatory. At this point, the United
States established concentration camps to intern its citizens, not
entirely unlike what was happening in Europe at the time.
Upon arrival at a relocation Center, each family was assigned to a
room compartment about 20 x 25 feet. Barren, unattractive, a stove, a
light bulb, hot mattresses, and a blanket. Those were the things
provided by the government. These conditions were wholly opposed
to American standards of living.
Conclusion
It would not be until the summer of 1946 that President Harry S.
Truman would overturn Executive Order 9066. Japanese Americans
returned to their homes to find them in disrepair and their belongings
looted. With the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, President Ronald Reagan
approved dispersing twenty thousand dollars to each survivor of the
Japanese Internment camps. In this author's opinion that gesture
hardly makes up for the deprivation of rights.
Executive Orders
President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 nearly
two months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Executive Order 9066
approved the relocation of Japanese Americans into internment camps
to curb potential Japanese espionage. At first, the relocations were
completed voluntarily. However, the six months following, over one
hundred thousand Japanese American citizens were placed into
“relocation camps.” This order would remain in effect until President
Harry S. Truman signed Executive Order 9742 on June 25, 1946.

Conclusion
It would not be until the summer of 1946 that President Harry S.
Truman would overturn Executive Order 9066. Japanese Americans
returned to their homes to find them in disrepair and their belongings
looted. With the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, President Ronald Reagan
approved dispersing twenty thousand dollars to each survivor of the
Japanese Internment camps. In this author's opinion that gesture
hardly makes up for the deprivation of rights.
Executive Orders
President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 nearly
two months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Executive Order 9066
approved the relocation of Japanese Americans into internment camps
to curb potential Japanese espionage. At first, the relocations were
completed voluntarily. However, the six months following, over one
hundred thousand Japanese American citizens were placed into
“relocation camps.” This order would remain in effect until President
Harry S. Truman signed Executive Order 9742 on June 25, 1946.
Conditions
In the winter of 1942, Franklin D. Roosevelt issued executive order
9066, thus stripping American citizens of Japanese descent of their
civil right to live freely. In its original form, the order made it
voluntary for Japanese American living on the west coast of the
United States to move to “relocation camps.” Many affected citizens
did as ask, leaving their homes and possessions behind. They were
able to take a suitcase and only what they could carry. Within six
months, the relocations became mandatory. At this point, the United
States established concentration camps to intern its citizens, not
entirely unlike what was happening in Europe at the time.

Japanese Internment camps. In this author's opinion that gesture
hardly makes up for the deprivation of rights.
Executive Orders
President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 nearly
two months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Executive Order 9066
approved the relocation of Japanese Americans into internment camps
to curb potential Japanese espionage. At first, the relocations were
completed voluntarily. However, the six months following, over one
hundred thousand Japanese American citizens were placed into
“relocation camps.” This order would remain in effect until President
Harry S. Truman signed Executive Order 9742 on June 25, 1946.
Conditions
In the winter of 1942, Franklin D. Roosevelt issued executive order
9066, thus stripping American citizens of Japanese descent of their
civil right to live freely. In its original form, the order made it
voluntary for Japanese American living on the west coast of the
United States to move to “relocation camps.” Many affected citizens
did as ask, leaving their homes and possessions behind. They were
able to take a suitcase and only what they could carry. Within six
months, the relocations became mandatory. At this point, the United
States established concentration camps to intern its citizens, not
entirely unlike what was happening in Europe at the time.
Upon arrival at a relocation Center, each family was assigned to a
room compartment about 20 x 25 feet. Barren, unattractive, a stove, a
light bulb, hot mattresses, and a blanket. Those were the things
provided by the government. These conditions were wholly opposed
to American standards of living.
Conclusion
It would not be until the summer of 1946 that President Harry S.
Truman would overturn Executive Order 9066. Japanese Americans
returned to their homes to find them in disrepair and their belongings
looted. With the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, President Ronald Reagan
approved dispersing twenty thousand dollars to each survivor of the
Japanese Internment camps. In this author's opinion that gesture

Harry S. Truman signed Executive Order 9742 on June 25, 1946.
Conditions
In the winter of 1942, Franklin D. Roosevelt issued executive order
9066, thus stripping American citizens of Japanese descent of their
civil right to live freely. In its original form, the order made it
voluntary for Japanese American living on the west coast of the
United States to move to “relocation camps.” Many affected citizens
did as ask, leaving their homes and possessions behind. They were
able to take a suitcase and only what they could carry. Within six
months, the relocations became mandatory. At this point, the United
States established concentration camps to intern its citizens, not
entirely unlike what was happening in Europe at the time.
Upon arrival at a relocation Center, each family was assigned to a
room compartment about 20 x 25 feet. Barren, unattractive, a stove, a
light bulb, hot mattresses, and a blanket. Those were the things
provided by the government. These conditions were wholly opposed
to American standards of living.
Conclusion
It would not be until the summer of 1946 that President Harry S.
Truman would overturn Executive Order 9066. Japanese Americans
returned to their homes to find them in disrepair and their belongings
looted. With the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, President Ronald Reagan
approved dispersing twenty thousand dollars to each survivor of the
Japanese Internment camps. In this author's opinion that gesture
hardly makes up for the deprivation of rights.
Executive Orders
President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 nearly
two months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Executive Order 9066
approved the relocation of Japanese Americans into internment camps
to curb potential Japanese espionage. At first, the relocations were
completed voluntarily. However, the six months following, over one
hundred thousand Japanese American citizens were placed into
“relocation camps.” This order would remain in effect until President
Harry S. Truman signed Executive Order 9742 on June 25, 1946.

States established concentration camps to intern its citizens, not
entirely unlike what was happening in Europe at the time.
Upon arrival at a relocation Center, each family was assigned to a
room compartment about 20 x 25 feet. Barren, unattractive, a stove, a
light bulb, hot mattresses, and a blanket. Those were the things
provided by the government. These conditions were wholly opposed
to American standards of living.
Conclusion
It would not be until the summer of 1946 that President Harry S.
Truman would overturn Executive Order 9066. Japanese Americans
returned to their homes to find them in disrepair and their belongings
looted. With the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, President Ronald Reagan
approved dispersing twenty thousand dollars to each survivor of the
Japanese Internment camps. In this author's opinion that gesture
hardly makes up for the deprivation of rights.
Executive Orders
President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 nearly
two months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Executive Order 9066
approved the relocation of Japanese Americans into internment camps
to curb potential Japanese espionage. At first, the relocations were
completed voluntarily. However, the six months following, over one
hundred thousand Japanese American citizens were placed into
“relocation camps.” This order would remain in effect until President
Harry S. Truman signed Executive Order 9742 on June 25, 1946.
Conditions
In the winter of 1942, Franklin D. Roosevelt issued executive order
9066, thus stripping American citizens of Japanese descent of their
civil right to live freely. In its original form, the order made it
voluntary for Japanese American living on the west coast of the
United States to move to “relocation camps.” Many affected citizens
did as ask, leaving their homes and possessions behind. They were
able to take a suitcase and only what they could carry. Within six
months, the relocations became mandatory. At this point, the United

returned to their homes to find them in disrepair and their belongings
looted. With the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, President Ronald Reagan
approved dispersing twenty thousand dollars to each survivor of the
Japanese Internment camps. In this author's opinion that gesture
hardly makes up for the deprivation of rights.
Executive Orders
President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 nearly
two months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Executive Order 9066
approved the relocation of Japanese Americans into internment camps
to curb potential Japanese espionage. At first, the relocations were
completed voluntarily. However, the six months following, over one
hundred thousand Japanese American citizens were placed into
“relocation camps.” This order would remain in effect until President
Harry S. Truman signed Executive Order 9742 on June 25, 1946.
Conditions
In the winter of 1942, Franklin D. Roosevelt issued executive order
9066, thus stripping American citizens of Japanese descent of their
civil right to live freely. In its original form, the order made it
voluntary for Japanese American living on the west coast of the
United States to move to “relocation camps.” Many affected citizens
did as ask, leaving their homes and possessions behind. They were
able to take a suitcase and only what they could carry. Within six
months, the relocations became mandatory. At this point, the United
States established concentration camps to intern its citizens, not
entirely unlike what was happening in Europe at the time.
Upon arrival at a relocation Center, each family was assigned to a
room compartment about 20 x 25 feet. Barren, unattractive, a stove, a
light bulb, hot mattresses, and a blanket. Those were the things
provided by the government. These conditions were wholly opposed
to American standards of living.
Conclusion
It would not be until the summer of 1946 that President Harry S.
Truman would overturn Executive Order 9066. Japanese Americans
returned to their homes to find them in disrepair and their belongings
