I need a clear thesis statement for this topic... the thesis statement I entered is basically a restatement of the question.

Topic: Explore the friendship between Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. Stanton marries and has seven children. Anthony remains unmarried and childless. How do their differences hinder or help their cause? What is it about the combination of two very different women that made such an impact on this movement?

What type of friendship does Elizabeth, and Susan have.

Explanation: thats the restated question

Susan B Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton's differences helped their cause by showing, by their very existence, that middle ground can be reached between differing ideals. That women may put aside their differences in favor of the movement thus allowing for a greater impact.

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.
