LAD/Blog #34: FDR's Declaration of War

Following the attack by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor, "a date which will live in infamy," President Roosevelt declared war upon Japan and explains the harrowing event prompting the decision to Congress. He discussed the suspicious actions of the Japanese, as well as locations other than Pearl Harbor which Japanese launched hostilities against, as well as the fact that many American lives and ships had been lost. Following that, he extended a plea for a declaration of war, from Congress as well as God, deeming it the only logical next step for the country.
