Roosevelt is saying many things in this speech, first and foremost he is re-enforcing the message that there is nothing to fear but fear itself as is shown when he says "It is possible that when the banks resume a very few people who have not recovered from their fear may again begin withdrawals… It needs no prophet to tell you that

First of all, FDR’s speech contains details on freedom that can give evidence towards what his views for the country and its people were. Roosevelt believed that freedom must be defended, for he supports those who struggle to keep those rights. FDR explained, “Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those

By proposing the four fundamentals of freedom Roosevelt captured the audience with his speech. During this time of his speech he mentioned the

American colonists mainly descended from England and were loyal to the British Crown, however, politically the decisions made in the Continental Congress and the stopping of salutary neglect angered the colonists, socially, as a result of unfair taxes, colonists from all the colonies began to rebel and thus have their interests aligned which developed a sense of social unity, and economically after many unjust acts were carried out by the British Empire, the colonies began to help one another, therefore between 1750 to 1776 colonists began to cease their loyalty towards England and develop an independent American identity.

FDR has molded his whole speech so it mostly aims for an emotional (pathos) response from Congress and the American people. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt incorporated pathos into his speech when he said, “Our people, our territory, and our interests”. Using such phrasings gave the audience a feeling of togetherness with both the government and themselves. That kind of outlook was necessary so that FDR could bring in troops and also rally up patriotism from the citizens so that hope would not be lost. It

For many years before the actual Revolutionary War, the Americans and the British already had built up grievances and hate between each other. Some may argue with such tension, war was inevitable. In the famous Declaration of Independence, the Americans not only declared their freedom but also included a list of their grievances addressed to King George III. The events leading to these accusations explain the complaints leveled against the King and prove their validity.

ased on the text of the speech, what is the main purpose of President Roosevelt' speech?

From 1880s-1930s mechanization has increased in both Japan and India. More machines had started to be used than using one’s hands which produced more cotton than hand spinning would have. Female workers were overworked in the cotton factories that favored using machines instead of hand spinning to increase the production of cloth and yarn.

The “forgotten man” refers to the working class of America and they helped FDR win the presidency by voting for him in the election because FDR was proposing new deals that appealed to the working class.

The United States went to war to protect our land, its citizens and the economy. Roosevelt clearly said that not only was our livelihood at stake, but also our lives, and way of life. He pointed out we were at peace, and received a statement from Japan one hour after the attack, saying that they didn’t think the negotiations were going anywhere, but nothing was said in the message that was threatening.

I belief they did not make good choices with the amount of innocent people who died and also did not give everyone a fair share of letting people have freedom. I think they only ever believed what everyone else said and did, and for those who spoke up and said the truth they didn’t respect or listen to their opinions and caused many others to get away with bad things while good people died and suffered. Parris the minister was disliked by many of the residents because of his poor character. He had a very greedy, domineering personality. Both their motives seemed to be revengeful and wanting political power. Joseph also wanted a Republican controlled Congress.

The growing perceived ineffectiveness and illegitimacy of America’s role in Vietnam was the product of what was viewed as little more than an anti-communist crusade in which neither logistical concerns nor the nationalist motivations of a people who had yearned for sovereignty over centuries carried significant weight. Less and less Americans were willing to bankroll, much less have their sons paying “any price” or bearing “any burden” for what was becoming a quagmire. Bodybag after bodybag was being filled with American boys on a daily basis, not to mention that every dollar of damage incurred by the Communist enemy in Hanoi cost the United States ten dollars , helping to quickly bring an end to an era of unprecedented American prosperity.

The central idea for Franklin D. Roosevelt’s speech was to ensure the American citizens they had chosen the right leader. Franklin sates it was time to “speak the truth” and time to lead America to its vison of happiness. FDK wants to lay out all his card to the people and expose his ideas to help rebuild America back to its former status of “The Land of Opportunity”.

Most Americans believe that all human beings deserve freedom and basic human rights. As the United States of America is commonly called “the land of the free,” most American presidents have strived to preserve the freedom of American citizens, but in different ways. While many people around the world still struggle for freedom and rights, U.S. presidents have contributed to and addressed the movement towards world peace differently. Two presidents that focused on the preservation of freedom were Franklin Roosevelt and John Kennedy. The “Four Freedoms” speech by Roosevelt and Kennedy’s Inaugural Address both discuss freedom, but they contrast in historical context, the use of the word freedom and purpose.

In the opening of his speech, FDR recognizes the audience of his speech as "Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives." Roosevelt recognizes his audience in the beginning of his speech to gain authority over them early on. FDR is the president of the United States and everyone knows that is a credible job. If the speaker is your president, it makes it a lot easier for the audience to trust the speaker. FDR knew that if the audience trusts him, then they would be able to listen to him and believe him. Not only does FDR start out his speech by asserting his credibility, but he also ends it letting the audience know who's in charge. Towards the end of his speech, FDR states "As Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense." In the beginning of his speech, he was simply letting the crowd know of his credibility, but here he is emphasizing that he is in charge. The fact that FDR started off and ended his speech this way, shows how important credibility is to
