Japanese American Internment Camps [] When the war started America was in shock and afraid of anything different. President at the time, Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Exectuitve Order 9066 on February 19, 1942 that ordered all the Japanese who have visited Japan in the last year or lived in Japan in their life time to be sent to an Internment Camp. The camps were set up all along the west coast of America. The prisoners were taken from anywhere in the U.S. But almost 1/3 of the total Japanese interned were from Hawaii. They were living there due to its relative location to Japan.
