Question

What argument is Franklin D. Roosevelt making in this excerpt from his "Four Freedoms" speech?

Answer 1

Thank you for asking this question. Franklin D. Roosevelt was making the " Four Freedom" speech during the time of the world war which was a period of distress among Americans. He is saying that Americans should not believe that they are completely safe from the war and should be willing to make certain sacrifices to defend not only the United States of America but also the rest of the world. Roosevelt is also making clear that if Germany happens to win the war American democracy may collapse.
