Can you help get rid of the incoherence in this paragraph? (Make it sound more fluent) The Underground Railroad was a series of roads, locations, and people that helped enslaved people in the American South flee to the North to safety. The North wanted states to be “free states.” Most northerners thought that slavery was wrong and many northern states had outlawed slavery. The South, however, wanted states to be “slave states.” The Missouri Compromise was passed in 1820 admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state. In 1850, the Fugitive Slave Act required that slaves be returned to their owners, even if they were in a free state. Anyone who aided a fugitive slave faced severe punishment. The South had checkpoints, patrols, and curfews which made most escapes in the night time. But, the trip was a little easier considering 800 of the 880 miles to travel were northern miles. Harriet Tubman, who escaped from slavery in the South was a leading abolitionist and led hundreds of enslaved people to freedom in the North along the route of the Underground Railroad.

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.

b. cronkite, a trusted television personality, declared that the war was unwinnable and told the american people that the government had better find a way out

even though it went against everything the news anchors typically stood for, cronkite voiced an opinion and took a stance, telling the us that there was no way they were going to win, the war was going to end in a stalemate.
