LAD #35

FDR states in the Executive Order 9066 that there were to be various areas of land under complete governmental supervision where anyone who lives and/or is moved to those areas would be provided with food, shelter, and military protection. Those, however, who were not intended to be placed in said land were to be kept out of the area by the military. FDR gave the military authorization to rush people, specifically the Japanese-Americans, into camps in order to keep them separated from the full blooded American people. America had just declared war on Japan and was still reeling from the impact of the Pearl Harbor massacre and a panic was beginning to set in. In order to help solve it, FDR allowed Executive Order 9066 to be set into place to help lessen the chaos. The Secretary of War along with the military was given free reign to do whatever they felt was necessary to keep the rules enforced and to make sure the Japanese-Americans remained within the camps.
