The correct answer is that they were forced to relocate from their homes. During World War II, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the United States government issued the Executive Order 9066, which authorized the forced relocation and internment of Japanese Americans living on the West Coast. This was done out of fear that they would be sympathetic to Japan and pose a threat to national security.
As a result, approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were American citizens, were forcibly removed from their homes and sent to internment camps located mostly in remote areas of the country, including Arkansas. The relocation was based on racial profiling, discrimination, and prejudice against Japanese Americans, rather than any legitimate military necessity.
Arkansas was one of the states that had internment camps where Japanese Americans were relocated. The most well-known camp in Arkansas was called the Rohwer Relocation Center, which housed over 8,000 Japanese Americans during the war. Another smaller camp, the Jerome Relocation Center, was also established in Arkansas.
It is important to note that the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II is widely regarded as a grave injustice and a violation of their civil liberties. It was not because they were involved in any form of attack, were offered economic incentives, or were needed to tend the farms.
