Read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt’s “day of infamy” speech. which line reveals the purpose of the speech? always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. no matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the american people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. i believe i interpret the will of the congress and of the people when i assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again. hostilities exist. there is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger. with confidence in our armed forces—with the unbounded determination of our people—we will gain the inevitable triumph—so us god. i ask that the congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by japan on sunday, december seventh, a state of war has existed between the united states and the japanese empire.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
