Leading up to Roosevelt’s “Infamy Speech” he had a number of things happen that directly or indirectly shaped his speech. While Roosevelt’s country had been physically attacked by Japan, he had been dealing with numerous emotional problems as well. Roosevelt’s mother, Sara Roosevelt, died 3 months before the attacks on Pearl Harbor. This, undoubtedly, shaped Roosevelt’s emotional state at the time of his speech, and may have even been a further drive to win the war. With his mother gone, Roosevelt
This country has had two devastating attacks on American soil. We have only had two and they weren't pretty. Many lives were lost in these attacks. The american people will never forget these horrible strikes. The first one was on December 7th, 1941 and the second was on September 11th, 2001. President Bush’s speech was better than Franklin D.

I believe Franklin D. Roosevelt was the greatest American who ever lived. He was one of the most influential presidents to date and accomplished many things that affect American lives in the present day. He was the only president in history to be elected for four consecutive terms. He served three terms fully, dying months after being elected a fourth time. He led this country out of the Great Depression, which was no simple task. He also established social security and not only made the decision
Contrary to the beliefs of theAmericanpopulace, administration and military,this was not a random attack for the Japanese. They had planned the attack for months. On December 7, 1941 Japan planned to attackthe United States of America because “we”were keeping them from attaining their goal of forming a “community” of islands in the Western Pacific and the South East Asia.

The same Chinese, who after completing the building of the Central Pacific

This quote by Franklin D. Roosevelt is considered his greatest and most famous quote. Roosevelt deserves a lifetime achievement award because he helped win World War II against all odds and put programs in place as a part of his “New Deal” to help catapult the country out of the Great
