LAD #35 FDR's Executive Order

This is an extremely controversial order in hindsight mainly because when FDR originally made this order that was delivered for the Secretary of War, he stated that it was just to create military zones that no one except military members could enter. The controversy comes in later because these areas were created but ended up being used as places to hold Japanese people who resided in America and had relation to a Japan living descendent. These were eventually given the name interment camps when it was clear their purpose. The whole reason that FDR and The Secretary of War felt the need to make these interment camps was due to the general feeling of that there was lack of safety in America because the Pearl Harbor attacks, and President Roosevelt made it clear that loyalty to America was vital during this time.
