Passage 1
excerpt from Franklin D. Roosevelt's Four Freedoms Speech
On January 6, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke to Congress about the potential effect that World War II might have on the United States
and its policies. His address has since become popularly known as the Four Freedoms Speech
It is true that prior to 1914 the United States often had been disturbed by events in other Continents. We had even engaged in two wars with
European nations and in a number of undeclared wars in the West Indies, in the Mediterranean and in the Pacific for the maintenance of American
rights and for the principles of peaceful commerce. But in no case had a serious threat been raised against our national safety or our continued
independence

What I seek to convey is the historic truth that the United States as a nation has at all times maintained clear, definite opposition, to any attempt to
lock us in behind an ancient wall while the procession of civilization went past. Today, thinking of our children and of their children, we oppose
enforced isolation for ourselves or for any other part of the Americas..
The need of the moment is that our actions and our policy should be devoted primarily-almost exclusively--to meeting this foreign peril. For all our
domestic problems are now a part of the great emergency.
Just as our national policy in internal affairs has been based upon a decent respect for the rights and the dignity of all our fellow men within our gates,
so our national policy in foreign affairs has been based on a decent respect for the rights and dignity of all nations, large and small. And the justice of
morality must and will win in the end. Our national policy is this:
First, by an impressive expression of the public will and without regard to partisanship, we are committed to all-inclusive national defense.
Second, by an impressive expression of the public will and without regard to partisanship, we are committed to full support of all those resolute
peoples, everywhere, who are resisting aggression and are thereby keeping war away from our Hemisphere. By this support, we express our
determination that the democratic cause shall prevail, and we strengthen the defense and the security of our own nation.
