chosen.content: During World War II, over 120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry were incarcerated by the United States government in internment camps as a result of Executive Order 9066. This order was signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in February of 1942 due to the wartime fear of potential espionage and sabotage against the US by Japanese people who lived on the West Coast. Although many Japanese Americans were United States citizens, the vast majority were unable to relocate or fight the government’s position that they presented an immense threat to national security. Afterwards, they and their communities faced decades of stigmatization and prejudice. To this day, this injustice is still seen as an important chapter of US history and a reminder of the consequences of discrimination based on race or ethnicity.

rejected.content: The internment of Japanese people during World War II is a part of history that should never be forgotten. It began after the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, leading the US government to fear that potential espionage and sabotage from Japanese nationals could take place. In response, President Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 in February 1942, which authorized the relocation of Japanese people from certain West Coast military zones. More than 110,000 people of Japanese heritage were forced from their homes and sent to internment camps. This process of forced relocation and incarceration was the largest of its kind during WWII and is an example of government-sanctioned discrimination which led to civil rights abuses.
