In 1942, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order No. 9066 into law which eventually forced close to 120,000 Japanese-Americans in the western part of the United States to leave their homes and move to one of ten 'relocation' centers or to other facilities across the nation. This order came about as a result of great prejudice and wartime hysteria after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

It wasn't so much prejudice and hysteria, as it was national security. Many Japanese-Americans were still loyal to their homeland, and several were involved in intelligence-gathering for the attack on Pearl Harbor.
In hindsight, we think that it was a foregone conclusion that we would win the war, but back then it was a fight for our very survival.
Those who say it was prejudice should realize that many Germans and Italians were also interred. For as racist and bigoted as we're told that we are by the media, there were very few attacks on Japanese-Americans in the wake of Pearl Harbor, just as there were very few against Middle Easterners after 9/11.
But that being said, internment was definitely the wrong thing to do. Our nation never claims to never make mistakes, but we nearly always learn from them.

We look back with our current prejudices and try to judge what people did years ago. That's like the current myth that NDNs were peaceful and 'whites' broke all the treaties. That view isn't supported by fact but is taught as such. It is pretty much a result of current 'liberal quilt'. It's very hard for a guy sitting at his computer with total security from NDN attack to know how a person in the Old West who lived in constant terror of attack felt. Remember that right now there are Americans who belive and teach that we deserved 911.

Yes, but i suppose it's true. Japanese-american were sent into "locations" but it was the war (situated in 1942)with all degrees of parano, fears and horror. Now it's quite difficult to imagine bastard-law for citizens. Tragic and so typic...

This is what I was trying to get at on another thread. History changes as we change how we look at it and from what side we are standing.
Look to our own civil war. Some say it was about slavery, some say it was about states rights, some say it was about "northern aggression."
The American-Japanese issue during WWII was tragic, but was accepted at the time. Just as the slavery issue. Just as our treatment of native Americans.
We should not attempt to "judge" the actions of people in the past based on today's standards.
