The underground railroad was a movement organized by former slaves and people who were opposed to slavery and human degradation.

Explanation:

The underground rail road was a secret mission of routes and used as safe havens used by slaves. These places were the hiding place for individuals who were slaves and wanted to get away from the clutches of slavery.These slaves belonged elsewhere but moved to southern states and Canada where they considered themselves to be safe and secure from any kind of harm or violence. There were other sections or classes of people who were popularly called abolitionists who facilitated their safe stay at some safe place. They would assist them in hiding themselves unless they reached a safer place along the route. The then US administration had to enact new legislation to curb this movement - subsequently, the then Government came up with the Fugitive Slave Act , 1850 to overcome the ct of the disappearance of slaves and eventually eliminate the Under Ground Rail Road movement.On the contrary, this underground rail road movement finally came to an end after the elimination of slavery during the civil war. The end to slavery raised new hopes for people who were engulfed in this menace and wee desperately looking for an outlet.

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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
