What argument is Roosevelt supporting with an appeal to reason in this section of the speech?
Since the beginning of our American history, we have
been engaged in change - in a perpetual peaceful
revolution - a revolution which goes on steadily, quietly
adjusting itself to changing conditions - without the
concentration camp or the quick-lime in the ditch. The
world order which we seek is the cooperation of free
countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.
- Four Freedoms,
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The United States has suffered through many
changes, so it needs time to rest.
The United States only engages in peaceful
revolutions, so it should wait to go to war.
The United States is losing, so it needs to change
what it considers to be democracy.
The United States has always fought for
democracy, so it should keep fighting.
