Explanation:

In persuasive texts or speeches in which the author aims at convincing the audience about an idea, the emotional appeal is a strategy that focuses on manipulating or using the audience emotions rather than evidence or any other support to convince the audience about something. This includes using references to situations the author or speaker know are emotionally important for the audience or the use of words that evoke emotions. Considering this, in the excerpt the phrase that shows this type of persuasive technique is "that my child may have peace" because by using this reference the audience will feel sympathy for the speaker and also will think about their our children which will  lead to multiple feelings emerging and the audience supporting the speaker or author's idea of independence.

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.
