LAD #35: FDR's Executive Order #9066

In FDR's executive order, the power to declare specific areas as military locations was given to the Secretary of War. This was necessary to prevent corruption in the US and foreign espionage during this time of war. The order stated that all non military people will not be allowed in these areas, and that the Secretary of War has the responsibility of proving necessities (transportation, shelter, food, and water). The military districts eventually led to the creation of Japanese interment camps. FDR stressed the need for citizens to remain loyal.
