The United States Government incarcerated 120,313 Japanese Americans during World War II, placing the majority of them in 10 concentration camps run by the War Relocation Authority or in other camps or centers of detention run by the Justice Department or other government agencies.

Americans of Japanese ancestry, 70 percent Americans citizens, were forced off the West Coast or parts of Hawai'i. Most had to sell their homes and businesses at great losses and some lost everything without compensation.

Under the pretext of Japanese Americans being a threat to national security, President Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, giving the War Department the authority to establish areas from which any and all persons could be excluded. In 1982, the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians concluded, "Executive Order 9066 was not justified by military necessity. The broad historical causes... were race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership."

Why were women able to vote in western states like Wyoming before the rest<br> of the country?
iogann1982 [59]

Wyoming was only a territory when it began to allow women to vote in 1869, which led to a cascade of other western states allowing the same. Before the 19th Amendment, outside of New Mexico, every territory and state in the West allowed women to vote. However, it was not because Western states such as Wyoming thought that women deserved this privilege. It was a time of rapid Westward expansion, and in 1869 Wyoming had barely been able to become a territory. They added that these laws were aimed exclusively at white women. One lawmaker in Wyoming even tried to water down the bill by adding a text that explicitly gave women of other races the right to vote. But his amendment failed "because everyone said, 'Look, we know we're only talking about white women here.'" After Wyoming passed the law, states around the West saw it as an opportunity for them, too. And interestingly, even though Wyoming was the first to grant women’s suffrage, Utah was the first place where women cast a vote because their elections came first.
