Many of those Americans went into the camps with successful farms and business, and came out and were paid a pittance for their property that had been sold.

In many cases they didn't own the land because of the prevalence of racial CC&Rs. Opportunists found it easy to take over businesses based on leases when the owners were locked up. Those victims didn't even recieve a pittance.

That was an ugly part in our history. Some key placed people got quite rich off the scheme.
