LALEIP TIL Bandini and Warren
"Sir Francis Drake," says the old chronicle, 'was the first Englishman to sail on the back side of America,' and from that time until
now California has been considered the back door of the country. This was natural because the first settlements in the United
States were along the Atlantic seacoast. The people who came from England kept their faces turned eastward, looking to the
Mother Country for help, and watching Europe, and later England herself, as a quarter from which danger might come, as indeed
it did in the war of the Revolution and that of 1812.
President Roosevelt in 1907 took a decided step in recognizing the importance of the Pacific when he sent to that coast so large
a number of the most modern vessels of the navy. In fact, the nation may now be said to have faced about, California becoming

the answer is d: message a character's thoughts

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.
