8 Forced Relocation of Japanese Americans  The attack on Pearl Harbor created fear that Japanese Americans (Nisei) might commit sabotage along the West coast.  These fears were racially motivated since there was no evidence that these Nisei were no more disloyal than German or Italian Americans.  FDR issued Executive Order 9066 requiring all Japanese Americans to be moved to internment camps away from the West coast of the USA.

9 Internment of Japanese Americans The relocation of Japanese Americans raised constitutional issues in wartime, Pres. FDR said the action was a military necessity. Korematsu was a Japanese American convicted of trying to remain in a restricted area, he felt his civil rights had been violated. In the Supreme Court case of ”Korematsu v. U.S.” the Court upheld the relocations on the grounds that in wartime constitutional liberties may be limited. It would be 50 years before the U.S. government would apologize and offer compensation.
