LAD #35: FDR's Executive Order #9066













The Dawe's Act is similar to FDR's Executive Order #9066 because both forced a specific group of people into a confined amount of land based on their ethnicity.



FDR's Executive Order #9066 Summary: President Franklin D. Roosevelt made the Executive Order #9066 on February 19th, 1942. This order stated that as a precautionary protection against any acts of Espionage towards the United States, all Japanese persons were to be put in internment camps across the United States. It gave the Secretary of War and Military Commanders the power to create designated military zones, where all their necessary needs would be taken care of by Federal Agencies. These agencies provided food, shelter, equipment, land and much more.
