What was order 9066 and how did it affect the japanese americans?

Order 9066 was a World War 2 policy that had long term consequences for the Japanese Americans. The order allowed the Army to "evacuate" anyone that they thought was a threat to National Security.

It affected the Japanese Americans severely. The order forced more than 120,000 Japanese to relocate. They were relocated to 1 of the 10 internment camps  around the U.S.  (Internment = putting someone into some sort of prison..) They put the Japanese into these camps in fear that they were loyal to Japan.

This act gave the federal government the power to relocate any native in the east to territory west of the mississippi river.
