Why does President Roosevelt compare the situation

to a war?

Our greatest primary task is to put people to work. This is

no unsolvable problem if we face it wisely and

courageously. It can be accomplished in part by direct

recruiting by the Government itself, treating the task as

we would treat the emergency of a war, but at the same

time, through this employment, accomplishing greatly

needed projects.

O to remind people that the United States had just

fought in World War I

O to scare people into listening to him and his

proposals

O to emphasize the importance of taking action

O to mobilize the military to help with the projects

50 me on july 4, 1776, thomas jefferson wrote the declaration of independence. the declaration of independence can be compared to a break up letter because jefferson explained why america wanted its independence from king george iii. read pages 516-520 in your textbook to discover why america wanted to be an independent country. you will write your own break up letter from the colonies to king george iii. your letter needs to be at least 5-7 sentences, include the issues/events leading up to this breaking point, and why the founding fathers felt independence would be better. remember! this is a “breakup letter”, so channel your inner taylor swift and make it creative!
