Federal government instructed a policy where hundreds of thousands of people of

Japanese ancestry were evacuated into relocation camps. Many agree that the United

States government was not justified with their treatment towards the Japanese during

World War II. This Japanese-American experience of incarceration is believed to be

unconstitutional, demonstrating racism and causing social and economic hardships for the

evacuees. The location of one of the camps in California, Manzanar, "was representative

of the atmosphere of racial prejudice, mistrust, and fear, that resulted in American

citizens being uprooted from their homes, denied their constitutional rights, and with

neither accusation, indictment, nor conviction, moved to remote relocation camps for

most of the duration of the war" (Daniels et al., 1986, p.148).

As the Japanese people were being removed from the West Coast, it was obvious

that some economic loss would occur. "In a movement of this kind...it was probably

inevitable that some mistakes would be made and that some people would suffer" (qtd. In

American government's injustice towards Japanese people, led by racial animosity.
