The statement that best evaluates why President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 is:
Roosevelt wanted to create a secure military area along the Pacific coast that was safe from enemy sabotage and attack.
This order led to the internment of Japanese Americans, justified at the time by the government as a measure for national security during World War II, fearing espionage and sabotage after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
