Property+Seizures

Have you ever wondered during the World War 2 times what is was like to get your things taken and take forever to even get a fraction of what you lost come back to you? If you have or haven't either way the Japanese-American people went through this and they delt with it. When internment precautions were taken to protect the property of those who were forced to moved the personal items of the Japanese-American people almost $147 million in claims were submitted by 26,568 settlements went to family groups totalling more than $38 million in claims was disbursed after the struggle that the people of the Japanese-American nationality had went through. The Act of 1988 added another $400 million in claims

Also Over $200 million worth of real,commerical and personal property were used. These properties range from simple household appliances. At this time of evacuation many Japanese evacuees let go of their properties, especially their house hold items and most valuable goods. Quick sales often involved heavy financial losses.

The Japanese evacuation claims Act of 1948 applied for property loss only needed elaborate documentation and ultimately paid on $37 to $38 million in claims against a $148 million claim. The government paid in 1942 without interest. Nothing to the account for the difficuly strain of imprisonment itself for the lost of income from the World War 2 evacuation.

In 1971 Richard Nixon signed a law that required action from congress about anything to the Executive Order 9066 was inserted 40 years after the evacuation, Ronald Reagan signaturiized the Civil Liberties Act of !988 which would pay $20 thousand to everyone who was interned during the World War 2 evacuation. This was appreciated, but also Japanese and Japanese-Americans wanted to know why it took so long to do this.
