Excerpt adapted from The Peanut Man
from America’s Library

Contrary to popular belief, George Washington Carver did not invent peanut butter. However, he did invent more than 300 other uses for peanuts, including peanut milk, peanut paper, and peanut soap. Carver thought that if farmers and other people started making things out of peanuts, they could become more self-sufficient and would not have to rely on manufacturers for so many of their goods. Although not many of Carver’s peanut products were ever mass-produced, he did help spread the word about peanuts and, as a result, peanuts became more and more popular. By 1920, there were enough peanut farmers to form the United Peanut Association of America (UPAA). Then, in 1921, the UPAA asked Carver to speak to the U. S. Congress about the many uses of peanuts. Soon enough, the whole country had heard of George Washington Carver, the Peanut Man! And by 1940, peanuts had become one of the top six crops in the United States.

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.
