Answer: Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 with the intention of preventing espionage on American shores. Military zones were created in California, Washington and Oregon—states with a large population of Japanese Americans—and Roosevelt's executive order commanded the relocation of Americans of Japanese ancestry.
