10. INTRODUCTION

11. What do you think Roosevelt’s purpose
was with this speech?
Type your response in the chat box!!!
“This is preeminently the time to speak the truth, the whole truth, frankly and
boldly. Nor need we shrink from honestly facing conditions in our country today.
This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So,
first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear
itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts
to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a
leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support
of the people themselves which is essential to victory. I am convinced that you will
again give that support to leadership in these critical days.”
-Franklin Delano Roosevelt, First Inaugural Address
