Read these passages about abraham lincoln. he removed from kentucky to what is now spencer county, indiana, in my eighth year. we reached our new home about the time the state came in the union. it was a wild region, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. –“1859 autobiographical statement for the chester county times” a spirit of restlessness, a love of adventure, a longing for new scenes, and possibly the hope of improving his condition, led thomas lincoln to abandon the rock spring farm, in the fall of 1816, and begin life over again in the wilds of southern indiana. the way thither lay through unbroken country and was beset with difficulties. often the travellers were obliged to cut their road as they went. –the every-day life of abraham lincoln, francis fisher browne based on these two sources, what was indiana like when lincoln moved there? it had many farms and roads. was beautiful and inviting. it had steep mountains and cliffs. it was rugged and untamed.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
