The correct answers are:

• Many relocated Japanese Americans lost their homes and businesses.
• Japanese Americans from the West Coast were placed in internment camps.
• The civil rights of Japanese Americans were violated.

Explanation for each option:

1. Many relocated Japanese Americans lost their homes and businesses.
   This statement is true. During World War II, Japanese Americans who were forcibly relocated to internment camps often lost their homes, businesses, and personal property. The forced relocation and internment disrupted their lives and resulted in significant financial and personal losses.

2. Most Japanese American males were Japanese spies.
   This statement is false. There is no evidence to support the claim that most Japanese American males were spies. This stereotype was part of the unfounded fears and racial prejudice that led to the internment of Japanese Americans. In fact, many Japanese Americans served loyally in the U.S. military during the war.

3. Japanese Americans from the West Coast were placed in internment camps.
   This statement is true. Following Executive Order 9066, approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans, most of whom lived on the West Coast, were forcibly relocated to internment camps. This action was taken due to wartime hysteria and racial prejudice, not because of any proven threat.

4. The civil rights of Japanese Americans were violated.
   This statement is true. The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II is widely recognized as a violation of their civil rights. They were deprived of their liberty and property without due process, which is a fundamental violation of constitutional rights.

These events are a significant part of U.S. history and have been the subject of much reflection and apology in subsequent years.
