Roosevelt marked Executive Order 9066, which brought on 120,000 Americans and migrants of Japanese plunge to be coercively removed from their homes on the West Coast of the United States. They were in this manner detained in ten "American death camps" in remote and barren territories of the nation. Most were treacherously detained for the length of the war.

In spite of the fact that the young fellows of Japanese legacy who had attempted to enroll in the United States military when the war started were rejected on the grounds that they had been renamed as non-nationals and adversary outsiders, the U.S. Armed force later chose to permit them to serve in an isolated unit of Japanese Americans. Insufficient young fellows volunteered from the camps to serve so a draft was founded.

A gathering of young fellows who declined to serve in the military unless and until they and their families were discharged from the uncalled for detainment of the spiked metal encased camps were known as the "Resisters of Conscience." They expressed that they would readily serve their nation IF the Japanese Americans could have their opportunity. Since their conditions were can't, they were captured and sent to government penitentiaries as draft dodgers.

This activity, of going to bat for their rights and flexibility, was seen by some inside the Japanese American people group as being unpatriotic and unfaithful to the United States.

They were fearless souls who attempted to get equity yet were denied. A portion of the other Japanese Americans in later years expressed that they wished they had been sufficiently brave to go to bat for their rights at that troublesome timeframe.
