FAQ
What is President Roosevelt's primary purpose in his State of the Union address? He aims to instill hope and to inspire citizens to help aid the war efforts.
He sought to emphasize the historic nature of the events at Pearl Harbor, implicitly urging the American people never to forget the attack and memorialize its date. The term "day of infamy" has become widely used by the media to refer to any moment of supreme disgrace or evil.
Examples supporting the purpose of Roosevelt's speech include the Day of Infamy speech that portrayed moral high ground, the plan to turn the U.S. into the "arsenal of democracy" showcasing industrial might, and the Lend-Lease program indicating proactive support for allies.
America was facing the worst depression in history; Roosevelt outlined the problems facing the country so that the American people would understand his need to take action. The second thing that Roosevelt did to convince the American people was to justify his need to take on more control to implement his plan.
As America entered the war these “four freedoms” – the freedom of speech, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want, and the freedom from fear – symbolized America's war aims and gave hope in the following years to a war-wearied people because they knew they were fighting for freedom.
Roosevelt endorsed a broader human right to economic security and anticipated what would become known decades later as the "human security" paradigm in studies of economic development. He also included the "freedom from fear" against international aggression, calling for a "world-wide reduction of armaments."
Roosevelt, in his speech, attempted to convince the American people and Congress to follow his plan for the Great Depression. To do so he first compared the Great Depression to a war.
In addition to comforting the people of the United States, President Roosevelt had two main goals for his Pearl Harbor speech. His first goal was to urge Congress to declare war on Japan. Congress did this almost immediately after Roosevelt's speech. His second goal was to convince Americans to support the war effort.
Examples are “There is a God,” “Divorce is causing increased juvenile crime,” “Video games lead to the increase of violence among teens,” or “Climate change is exacerbated by people.”
