anarchy and civil war

In "Letter to His Son," Robert E. Lee summarizes how he truly feels about the Confederation. In this text, we discover that Lee was ambivalent about the situation in the South. He believed the South had been aggrieved by the acts of the North, but did not think secession was the solution to the problem. He also states that he was extremely worried about the state of the nation, and his greatest fear was that it should fall into one of two evils: anarchy and civil war.

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.
