Can you tell me about the history of the Japanese and internment camps in the US?
<|assistant|>
During World War II, nearly 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry living on the West Coast of the United States were forcibly relocated and incarcerated in internment camps. This action was ordered by President Franklin Roosevelt, who cited military and public opinion in justifying the camps. This period is now considered one of the darkest chapters in US history as the relocation of Japanese people was done largely due to wartime hysteria, fear, and prejudice. After the war, Congress issued a formal apology and reparations were granted, though the trauma of this time continues to have lasting effects on many in the Japanese American community to this day.
