On February 19, 1942, Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 putting it into place. This order authorized removal of anyone of Japanese Descent and would put them into internment camps. This would start a huge controversy and would make thousands of innocent families suffer just two months after Pearl Harbor This action would be done out of fear rather than hard evidence or proof that Japanese Americans were dangerous.

Now with Executive Order 9066 in place, by October 1942, not even a year later, almost all Japanese Americans were now in interment camps, two thirds of these were U.S citizens. People suffered in these camps, some died within the camps walls, those who tried to escape were shot. The camp conditions were terrible, families were separated and were stuffed in overcrowded makeshift homes. There was no privacy for any bathroom. Japanese Americans were heart broken being put here. These were direct effects of Order 9066, this affected hundreds of thousands of people.
