LAD#34

After reading FDR's Declaration of War, this is the summary I came up with:
He begins by talking about the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japanese forces the day before. He then goes on to talk about how the United States had been at peace with Japan and how a Japanese ambassador was even talking with the US Secretary of State at the time. To further make this even seem even worse, FDR went on to talk about how it was clear that this attack was deliberate and planned out before. He then goes on to talk about the effects it had on the Americans and the navy over in Hawaii. Following this, FDR lists other places the Japanese attacked within the 24 hours before this speech. He then makes it clear that the Japanese forces are a threat to America. Afterwards he says that he is doing everything that he can to protect America, and that they will win. Following this, he makes it very clear that America is in danger, and through the military action will be taken. He ends with coming back to the attack on Pearl Harbor and saying that war between America and Japan has begun.
