Reasons Why The Executive Order 9056: What Was Roosevelt Justified?
There are many justifications towards what is believed Roosevelt did. Many were wrong, while others were right. The Executive Order 9066 was signed during World War II on February 2, 1942. It authorized the secretary of war to prescribe certain areas as military zones. I believe that it was not justified due to the fact that many people were being hurt and deported by vast amounts.

It was a political decision. They said there would not be any threat, but California ranchers and their politicians were quite violent on the subject and threatened vigilante action if the government didn't act. FDR did not want to have to add ranchers to the enemies the army was fighting.

There was Internment of Japanese people. They were being deported. ave

    Although the Japanese-Americans were citizens of the United States and residences within the country, they did not have equivalent rights during this time in history. “The Constitution makes him a citizen of the United States by nativity and a citizen of California by residence. No claim is made that he is not loyal to this country.” Many Japanese-Americans were being treated as if they had been disloyal to the US and even alienated because of how they looked. Also, the freedom to own land was taken from them as well. “The Federal Reserve Banks took charge of property owned by evacuees, while the Farm Security Administration took over the agricultural property.” Owning property is one of the greatest freedoms and American can uphold and as history has shown it can easily be taken away in an instant. Japanese-Americans were forced to sell everything because they were very limited in what they could take with them to the internment…

    Executive Order 9066 was put into place on February 19, 1942 by President Franklin Roosevelt which was just as a few months after Japan had attacked America on Pearl Harbor. Executive Order 9066, “...which authorized sending all Americans of Japanese descent to ten makeshift internment camps…”(Roark, Pg.834), was established in order to prevent an internal attack from the Japanese on American soil. Since Roosevelt wanted America secure from the potential risk of Japanese Americans as quickly as possible, the Japanese lost a great deal of their property and with that the majority of their money. Although Roosevelt was ordering Japanese American citizens into internment camps, this was still considered constitutional since…

    There are several reasons that “Military necessity” had required the evacuation and the internment of persons of Japanese ancestry under Executive Order 9066. One reason was the mass removal and incarceration was due after pearl harbor.

    Roosevelt stated: “Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.”(Document C). At this point in time the United States was at peace with Japan, but that all ended when Pearl Harbor was bombed. We were drug into a war with Japan and eventually this lead us to fight in the second world war.

He justly did this to prevent, protect, and defuse any more problems during the war on…

    Franklin D. Roosevelt signed it because after the Pearl Harbor by the Japanese in 1941, Roosevelt was under a lot of pressure. Franklin D. Roosevelt was justified in sacrificing the liberty of individual citizens in the interest of national security because over 120,000 Japanese people were sent to live in internment camps. Roosevelt put all these people in internment camps and about 50% of the population in these camps were second hand generation Japanese which means they are Japanese but born in the US, and they are US citizens. This is called Nisei. [ (二世?, "second generation") is a Japanese-language term used in countries in North America and South America to specify the children born in the new country to Japanese-born immigrants (who are called Issei).] This shows how Roosevelt didn't care about what people really were and just based them on looks. This also shows that Roosevelt wanted Japanese people on the west coast to be in the camps and he didn't even care in to acknowledge what they really are. A similar situation in more modern times is Donald Trump and many others wanting to have no muslims in America, even if they were born here or living here their entire…

The third reason is they moved the Japanese away from military places. They did that so the Japanese couldn’t destroy the army places.…

    With the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese in early December, it caused the United States to dive into war. This quickly led American people to believe that there was treachery about with the Japanese. Along with this fear, there was doubt of the loyalty of those Japanese-Americans that were currently living on the west coast. President Franklin D Roosevelt signed an order in February 1942 stating that U.S. Military was allowed to exclude any and all persons from certain areas of the U.S. as necessary. This removed any Americans with Japanese ancestry from the West Coast, placing them under armed guard, otherwise known as internment camps for up to four years. The Military justified their actions for these internment camps by claiming that there was a danger of those Japanese descent spying for their country. The U.S. Military used the threat to the American people as their justification for the internment camps, but the Executive Order 9066, the order that Franklin D Roosevelt signed in 1942, was used as the Constitutional Justifications for creating the internment camps.…

    There was no reason for us to try and get rid of all of our Japanese-Americans.There were 3 main causes of Japanese-Internment. One reason was because at the time there was a lot of racism in America. Another reason for Japanese-Internment was that the Japanese as a country had bombed Pearl Harbor. The final reason was that the Americans were afraid that the Japanese Americans would take all of the production and money that came out of farming.The final reason was the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The bombing of Pearl Harbor was a ginormous blow to America because it killed 2,335 people 1,177 were from the USS Arizona.…
