Pearl Harbor Speech, December 8, 1941

To the Congress of the United States



Yesterday, Dec. 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.



The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with the government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific.



Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in Oahu, the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleagues delivered to the Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or armed attack.



It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time, the Japanese government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.



The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. Very many American lives have been lost. In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.



Yesterday, the Japanese government also launched an attack against Malaya.



Last night, Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong.



Last night, Japanese forces attacked Guam.



Last night, Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands.



Last night, the Japanese attacked Wake Island.



This morning, the Japanese attacked Midway Island.



Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.



As commander in chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.

Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us.



No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.



I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.

With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounding determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God.



I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, Dec. 7, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese empire.



Before the attack on Pear Harbor, how would people define the relationship between Japan and the United States?

A.
cordial
B.
hostile
C.
neutral
D.
dependent

Which evidence from "Healing a Wounded Heart: Daniel Hale Williams" best supports the idea that Williams improved health care for black Americans?

"When Dr. Williams set up his medical practice, there were only three other black doctors in Chicago."

"He also provided medical care for children at a nearby orphanage and taught anatomy at the medical college where he had studied."

"And as a surgeon, he was bold enough to take risks but careful enough to ensure the safety of his patients."

"In fact, Provident was the first hospital in the United States in which black and white doctors worked together to care for all patients, regardless of race."

Read this excerpt from White Fang.

But when the frames of poles were made into tepees by being covered with cloth and skins, White Fang was astounded. It was the colossal bulk of them that impressed him. They arose around him, on every side, like some monstrous quick-growing form of life. They occupied nearly the whole circumference of his field of vision. He was afraid of them. They loomed ominously above him; and when the breeze stirred them into huge movements, he cowered down in fear, keeping his eyes warily upon them, and prepared to spring away if they attempted to precipitate themselves upon him.

What does White Fang’s interaction with the setting reveal?

It reveals how differently White Fang and the humans view their environment.
It reveals how excited White Fang is to be in a new environment.
It reveals how White Fang’s relationship with the humans is changing from one of fear to one of trust.
It reveals how White Fang has almost completely forgotten about his life in the wild.

French soldiers were tearing down a ruined wall in the fort when they came upon the slab. The top right and left corners were missing, as was the bottom right corner. The soldiers had gone over the rest of the wall carefully in hopes of finding the missing pieces embedded in it, but with no luck.
