Can you tell me about the history of the Japanese and internment camps in the US?

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.
