Japanese Americans were interned during World War 2 because some Americans feared they would be disloyal.Japan was urging Japanese Americans to act as spies. However, there was no evidence that any Japanese Americans had engaged in espionage or sabotage. During the entire war only ten people were convicted of spying for Japan and these were all Caucasian.Another factor was that white farmers were concerned about the competition from Japanese American farmers and saw internment as a way to get rid of their competitors.The US Government made amends through the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, when $20,000 per internee was paid out to individuals who had been interned or relocated, including those who chose to return to Japan. Some Japanese and Japanese Americans who were relocated during World War II received compensation for property losses, according to a 1948 law.
