chosen.content: Following the outbreak of World War II in December 1941, the United States government forced many people of Japanese ancestry to move into internment camps located on sites throughout the country, including Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. These people, many of whom were US citizens, were forced to evacuate their homes and communities and live in makeshift prison camps for much of the war. While they were allowed to earn a small income and maintain contact with the outside world through letters, many were deprived of basic human rights and faced extreme physical hardship, such as substandard living conditions and lack of basic necessities like clothing, medical care and adequate food. After the conclusion of World War II in 1945, the majority of those who had been held in internment camps were able to return to their homes, but the stigma and physical and psychological consequences of their internment experience remained.

rejected.content: In the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, over 120,000 Japanese-American individuals were ordered to relocate to internment camps for the duration of World War II. Over two-thirds of them were native born American citizens. At the time, Executive Order 9066 had given President Roosevelt the authority to implement the evacuation, citing military necessity as the reason. After a series of legal appeals, the Supreme Court ultimately ruled in the case of Korematsu v. United States in 1944 that the internment of Japanese-Americans was constitutional.  In recent years, several campsites have become national historic sites to serve as reminders of this unprecedented event in American history.
