How does President Roosevelt's speech persuade
Americans to support the laws in helping people during
the Great Depression?
This is part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's second
inaugural address
"I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-
nourished. The test of our progress is not whether we add
more to the abundance of those who have much; it is
whether we provide enough for those who have too little."
-Years of Dust, Albert Marrin
Roosevelt wants listeners to feel that the nation
should do more to take care of people who need
help
Roosevelt wants listeners to think badly about
people who are already wealthy
Roosevelt's role as president makes all Americans
feel as though they have to agree with what he
says
Help?
