Discussion essay | American history homework help
[ad_1]
just a quick essay.
this is the question you need to answer in the paper.
Despite FDR and Americans’ language of freedom, equality, and democracy through the “Four Freedoms” abroad and at home, some groups of people were left out of this equation. Read the two primary sources and compare and contrast them (with specific examples from the primary sources). Use the textbook (with page numbers) to provide context for how blacks were treated after the war and how they dealt with their treatment despite serving in the military as loyal Americans.
This week’s chapter focuses on the Second World War. President F. Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms—Freedom of speech, of worship, from want, and from fear (painted by Norman Rockwell)—represented America’s unity at home and greater role on the international stage. They represented the idea that “American security was global in scope and could only be protected by the worldwide triumph of core American values” (862). But despite the language of unity, freedom, and equality, there was once again (as in WWI) a disconnect between the language of democracy and equality espoused by FDR and the reality, for many, of living in America. Divisions among Americans still remained regarding the New Deal and unrestricted economy, the racial order, and women in the workforce. Once again, we see the importance of language as representative of one’s ideals as the U.S. entered (albeit late) the deadliest war in history and emerged as one of the world’s two great powers.
