  6. Internment • Many Japanese Americans were forced from their homes and put into internment camps where they were away from family and friends. • Most of the camps were in remote parts of the western parts of the United States. • The U.S. was paranoid about spies which is why they had a policy of internment (Executive Order 9066 )
