Why Is President Roosevelt Justified To Order The Executive Order 9056?

Improved Essays
Show More
President Roosevelt was not justified for ordering the Execution Order 9066. This order was completely unnecessary because many of the Japanese Americans were fighting in the war for the United States. Also this order took away the Constitutional rights of American citizens, the foundation of the United States of America. Lastly one of the main factors President Roosevelt used to order this order was listed under false pretenses and highly exaggerated to the point where Roosevelt felt it necessary to order the Executive Order 9066.

During the early years of World War II, Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated from their homes in the Pacific Coast states because military leaders and public opinion combined to fan unproven fears of sabotage.

    Japanese Internment Dbq

    During WWII President Roosevelt ordered Executive Order 9066 which called for the internment of Japanese Americans citizens in the west coast. This decision caused much controversy because the internment was completely based on the race of the citizens and the people who were interned were subjected to poor conditions. I believe that the reason for the internment was not valid and was a violation of human rights. When the Japanese Americans were interned they lost their businesses and homes. Many sold everything they owned fearing that they would never be able to return.…

    "Justice Owen Roberts wrote in his dissent that this 'is the case of convicting a citizen as a punishment for not submitting to imprisonment in a concentration camp, based on his ancestry, and solely because of his ancestry, without evidence or inquiry concerning his loyalty and good disposition towards the United States.'" (infoplease.com) No U.S. citizen should ever be imprisoned because of their race or ancestry. During WWII the United States was at war with a number of other countries besides Japan, including Germany, and Italy. Yet at no time were Americans who dissented from those countries imprisoned for their race or ancestry. This makes the executive order clearly racist towards the Japanese…

    Effects Of Japanese Internment Camps During Ww2

    After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the United States’ government feared espionage and sabotage from individuals of Japanese descent. The real reason, however, behind the Executive Order 9066 was war time hysteria. During the great depression white citizens despised minorities and immigrants, some blaming the depression on them. Consequently, the bombing of Pearl Harbor led to outright hatred of the Japanese Americans with citizens calling for their evacuation. By the beginning of 1942 Anti-Japanese paranoia had spread all over the United States gaining support from a majority of its citizens.…

    Japanese Influence On Japanese Americans

Days after the attack on Pearl Harbor signs were posted that the Japanese Americans were to only pack what they can carry and get rid of the rest of their belongings, then they would move to camps under government surveillance. This came as a shock to a lot of Japanese Americans, they did not expect the United States to question their loyalty. Selling the remainder of their items that they could not carry proved to be difficult. Buyers offered the lowest amount of money they could, while the Japanese Americans wanted much more cash for the things that was valuable in their eyes.…

    How Did Asian Immigrants Come To The American Dream

    With the hopes of a fresh new beginning and more opportunities to rebuild their lives; many Asian immigrants migrated to the United States leaving everything behind as they set their sight towards whatever benefits may await them in America. However, the thought of finding peace and happiness would soon perish with the coming of WWII. During this period, Asian Americans were pushed to the side and seen as enemies. Racism as a whole would contribute to the fall of succeeding the American Dream, war efforts in order to show loyalty to the United States, and the increasing number of Asians after the WWII. Dreams were crushed and trusts were broken, but the history of Asian Americans during WWII would always be the center of all talks as they were seen as…

    World War II was the war that was never expected; it was never supposed to happen nor was America supposed to join in. In the middle of our Great Depression Hitler began to gain popularity, similar to the way FDR gained his popularity; through promised hope and dreams of a better country. Hitler was making several promises to his people during his gain of power, so people were prone to accept his ideas, even if radical, because of his amazing promises of a great Germany. While all of the Hitler commotion was taking everyone’s attention, Japan was busy invading China.…
