LAD #35 FDR's Executive Order #9066

When FDR originally made this order, it was delivered for the Secretary of War and was a proposal to create military zones that no one except military members could enter. The areas were created, but ended up being used as places to hold Japanese people who lived in America, but had a relation to someone of a Japanese descent. These areas were called internment camps and were created because FDR and The Secretary of War felt that there was a lack of safety in America. As a result of the attacks on Pearl Harbor, people felt threatened and internment camps were created to try and stop any future attacks.

Pictures: I chose a picture of an internment camp and a picture that shows the discrimination and segregation of blacks. This is similar to the internment camps because both groups of people were treated badly because of their race and were treated unequally even though most of them were American citizens.
