Nhi Chung Cathy Clay ENGL 1302 16 February 2018 The Motives and Causes of Executive Order 9066 On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a government paper, which was known as Executive Order 9066 (Backman, Marjorie and Michael Gonchar). In

Chung 2 addition, Congress men dele approved this paper on March 21, 1942, to legalize this by the approval of the law (Backman and Gonchar). According to the National Archives, this allowed the document to enforce and allow the government to relocate both Japanese Americans and immigrants to live in internment camps in the West Coast temporary WF ("Japanese Relocation During World War II"). Because Roosevelt signed the Executive Order 9066, many Americans were supporting or favoring V its policy that Japanese Americans and immigrants should be kept and locked away from their society (Dickerson 66). Therefore, American people at that time were experiencing V public fears, [What kind of fears?] the needs for their national security, and Japanese phobias, which were the motives and causes of passing Executive Order 9066. One reason why the Executive Order 9066 was signed and approved by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the government was because many American citizens were facing public fears that the Japanese could attack them at any time ("Japanese Relocation During World War II"). To clarify, they believed that Japanese Americans and immigrants could be favoring or supporting Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 (Backman and Gonchar). Because Japan made a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, American people were afraid that this may had influenced Japanese Americans and immigrants to plot another disastrous incident (Dickerson 63). According to the National Archives, it has stated that the causes of public fears in the United States of America were primarily concerned of Japanese making an "…espionage…" ("Japanese Relocation During World War II"). As a result, about 100,000 or more Japanese Americans and immigrants were forced to be sent to internment camps until they had proven to their loyalty (Dickerson 63-64). Another reason why the Executive Order 9066 was signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt was because Americans were concerned about their national security (Backman and

Chung 3 Gonchar). For example, Japanese Americans and immigrants were considered a major threat to the public because of their ethnicity (Backman and Gonchar). Marjorie Backman and Michael Gonchar who CE are the authors of "Teaching Japanese-American Internment Using Primary Sources" have stated V that "The United States government feared that…, their [Japanese Americans and immigrants] ethnicity, …" could have "…posed a national security threat", although these were rather a statement than fact (Backman and Gonchar). The American citizens and government at that time discriminated heavily on those who were part of their Japanese ancestry's background, which was an excuse to protect their soil from unexpected raids, spies, or communicating with the Japanese Imperial Army, which was considered a treason (Backman and Gonchar). Again, Backman and Gonchar have provided link of an old headline, which was titled "West Coast Widens Martial Law Call" and they have explained V how "… Japanese-Americans involved might… be guilty of planning an act of treachery" (Backman and Gonchar). In fact, none of this event s/pl never had dele happened during the evacuating of Japanese Americans and immigrants in internment camps. However, those claims made the situation even worse which promoted nationalism and opposition against them (Dickerson 66). The third and final reason why President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Executive Order 9066 was because American citizens were experiencing Japanese phobias. James Dickerson, who is an author of Inside America's Concentration Camps: Two Centuries of Internment and Torture, has analyzed V how Japanese phobias at that time had encouraged many Americans not to trust and "…to retaliate, … against anyone of Japanese heritage" (62). Dickerson also has explained V that these Japanese phobias were created and spread by mostly politicians and leaders who used "…racial fear to gain political leverage and prevailed, … " (68). Most importantly, Greg Robinson who is an author of A Tragedy of Democracy: Japanese

Chung 4 Confinement in North America has described V that the effects of creating "… sensational stories of FBI raids on "Japanese" homes and businesses…" were made up by frantic newspapers; however, these were false reports (sec. 2). Thus, many Japanese Americans and immigrations were sent to internment camps for no possible reason and "… without … " accusing them for "… proof of any wrongdoing" (Robinson, sec. 2). As of today, people have argued that President Franklin D. Roosevelt's decision on signing, passing, and approving the Executive Order 9066 was immoral and unconstitutional because it had violated the Fifth Amendment (Robinson, sec. 7). They also have argued that this had dele violated the Japanese Americans and immigrants' civil rights (Backman and Gonchar). Others may argue that it was necessary and justifiable because the United States of America and its citizens at that time were desperate and afraid of another Japanese surprise attacks s/pl or a possible invasion (Robinson, sec. 2). Regardless of the false major incident or report that Japanese Americans or Immigrants C were plotting to cause havoc in America, political leaders and public's opinions, fears, propagandas, and rumors had ignored and supported against them (Dickerson 64-70). Eventually, the government made an apology that this was a huge mistake and they had passed the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 on August 10, 1988, which gave "… each Japanese American affected by Executive Order 9066 would receive a $20,000 tax-free payment, …" as a compensation (Robinson, sec. 7).
