Read the following excerpt. it is adapted from an 1846 speech that irish revolutionary thomas francis meagher gave in dublin to protest the act of union between great britain and ireland.
to be strong, a people must be self-reliant, self-ruled, self-sustained. the dependence of one people upon another, even for the benefits of legislation, is the deepest source of national weakness.
by an unnatural law dependence exempts a people from their just duties—their just responsibilities. when you exempt a people from these duties, from these responsibilities, you generate in them a distrust in their own powers. dependence incapacitates, if not utterly destroys, a spirit that must be cultivated by responsibility and duty. if this spirit of duty does not exist, the country may be tranquil, but it will not be prosperous. it may exist, but it will not thrive. it may hold together, but it will not advance. peace it may enjoy, for peace and serfdom are compatible. but, my lord, it will neither accumulate wealth, nor win a character. it will neither benefit nor instruct mankind.
adapted from thomas francis meagher, "on abhorring the sword"
based on the excerpt, what is the purpose of thomas francis meagher's speech?

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.
