The letter goes on to say in part, “…the massacre lasted six to eight hours…I tell you Ned it was hard to see little children on their knees have their brains beat out by men professing to be civilized. Some tried to escape on the Prairie, but most of them were run down by horsemen …They were all horribly mutilated. One women was cut open and child taken out of her, and scalped…” - Captain Silas Soule

This massacre of Indians by US Army volunteers was given this name

Sand Creek Massacre

"Eventually the road became so crowded we were marched into a clearing. Here, for two hours, we had our first taste of the oriental sun treatment, which drains the stamina and weakens the spirit.

The Japs seated us on the scorching ground, exposed to the full glare of the sun. Many of the Americans and Filipinos had no covering to protect their heads. I was beside a small bush but it cast no shade because the sun was almost directly above us. Many of the men around me were ill.”

What event does this passage recount?

The Bataan Death March

“Corroding waste-disposal drums could be seen breaking up through the grounds of backyards. Trees and gardens were turning black and dying. One entire swimming pool had been popped up from its foundation, afloat now on a small sea of chemicals. Puddles of noxious substances were pointed out to me by the residents. Some of these puddles were in their yards, some were in their basements, others yet were on the school grounds. Everywhere the air had a faint, choking smell. Children returned from play with burns on their hands and faces.” – Eckhardt C. Beck (EPA Administrator, 1977 – 1979)

What event does this passage refer to?

“Now look, that damned cowboy is President of the United States!”― Mark Hanna; Remark to Hermann H. Kohlsaat about Theodore Roosevelt, 15 Sept. 1901

What event caused Hanna to make this statement?

The assassination of President McKinley

McKinley’s assassination made his Vice President, Theodore Roosevelt, President

The Republican Party made Roosevelt Vice President because they did not like him and

wanted him out of the picture. Being Vice President at that point in history was equal to

political exile.

“Panning was hard work. The miner first shoveled pay direct into the pan, preferably one that had a flat bottom and tapered sides, about three inches deep and eighteen inches in diameter. Then he submerged the pan into water, rocked it back and forth to get a whirlpool effect, and allowed the lighter dirt, sand, and gravel to wash over the lip until only the heavier gold was left. The process took some time to master, and fifty pans were considered a good day's work."

“Our security depends on the Allied Powers winning against aggressors. The Axis Powers intend to destroy democracy, it is anathema ... to them. We cannot provide that aid if the public are against it; therefore, it is our responsibility to persuade the public that aid to the victims of aggression is aid to American security.” - Franklin Delano Roosevelt

The first thing we do is see who made the statement. In this case it’s President Roosevelt. Roosevelt was president during the great depression and most of WWII.

He talks about the Axis and Allied powers. Those were the two sides fighting in WWII. It is clear that he is NOT a friend of the Axis for they want to destroy democracy.

He wants to help the Allies with aid but the US public is against it (see line 3) because they are isolationist and the US is not in the war yet. He wants to convince the American people that helping the Allies also helps in OUR security.

What the question is asking is what aid program did we put into place to send help (tanks, planes, etc.) to the Allies?
