Porter Romero · Answer 2

The correct answer is D. The purpose of Roosevelt's Four Freedoms Speech was to persuade Americans to accept the United States' involvement in the war in Europe.

It is known as Four Freedoms Speech the 1941 State of the Union adress, given by the president of the United States Franklin D. Roosevelt on January 6, 1941. It received this name because in it Roosevelt synthesized in "four essential human freedoms" the American goals for the postwar world: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want and freedom from fear.

The speech served Roosevelt to prepare Congress and the nation about the need for future war, defining the ideological goals of the impending armed conflict against the totalitarian powers and appealing to the deep feeling of freedom of the American people.
