Document Summary
The negative effects of the japanese internment camps: a beneficial change in foreign policy. History serves as an informative, instructive manual for its predecessors by informing humanity of the failures and successes of past events; subsequently, it guides us to avoid and handle our future complications in the most beneficial way available. One of the very controversial events america experienced was the apology for japanese internment camps during world war ii. In an effort to protect americans after the unfortunate event of the pearl harbor bombing, president franklin d. Roosevelt issued executive order 9066 on february 19, 1942. This ordered japanese-americans immediate relocation to internment camps for as long as three years; america refused to associate with japanese-americans for fear of their disloyalty. Prior to pearl harbor, americans already experienced anti-japanese prejudice. Americans contributed to the enactment of executive order 9066.
