Japanese internment camps
On February 1942 President Roosevelt signed an order that relocated 127,000 Japanese American citizens to concentration camps deeper in the United States. Evacuation posters were placed in Japanese communities so that they were aware of their situation. Many Japanese had to sell their properties such as homes, stores, and whatever valuables they had at a cheaper price than what it was worth.
Many Japanese evacuees had to be put on queue until camps were finished, so instead they were placed in racetracks or stable houses. Afterwards ten camps were finally built and placed in secluded areas of seven western states. Japanese struggled often in the relocation camps, due to severe whether conditions such as the cold in winter and the heat from summer.
