As a result of the devastating bombing on Pearl Habor, the President and the public became concerned with the Japanese as a whole. They became very cautious with Japanese Americans as they began to view them as threats. The fear of another bombing forced the passing of the Executive Order of #9066, this allowed the military to set up areas for Japanese families. Many Japanses as well as other families such as people with German ancestory were forced into these relocation camps. Although these people were viewed as traitors, FDR made sure that these areas had proper supplies, transportation and that they were treated respectfully.
