Review the Module Notes and Chapter : "World War II " in The American Yawp.
In addition, view the excerpt "American Isolationism " [Video ] from World War II: The Road to War and read the following primary sources:
Roosevelt, F.D. (May 1941), Unlimited National Emergency, and Lindbergh, C. (September 1941), Des Moines Speech
You may also choose to listen to a selection from Lindbergh's speech [Video].
Consider world events in the early 1940s, and then compare Roosevelt's warnings with Lindbergh's. Try to imagine reading these speeches in the context of 1941, rather than the present day.
Using the primary and secondary source materials above as evidence, consider the following in a post of at least 250 words:
What are the respective "warnings" about foreign affairs given by President Roosevelt and Charles Lindbergh?
What do you think would be the public's reaction to each person's speech, and why?
Your initial post must substantively integrate evidence from the assigned readings, including at least two full citations in proper APA or Chicago.
