The u. s. wanted navajo families to leave their homeland. the u. s. wanted them to move to a new place. some navajos would not move. they did not want to lose their old ways. others did move. they tried to fit into a new way of life.

what do you think?
keeping family traditions is more important than fitting into a new way of life.
do u agree or disagree with this statement

answer: agree

because if it is far far easier to continue doing what you know where you know than uprooting to a new place and not knowing anything about that and pretty soon your gonna feel homesick if it were me i would’ve been one of the navajos to stay because if i like my home why move

explanation:

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.
