    The country back then was divide by law. Fascism was very, very, popular. There was routine civil/labor rights violence. Political assassination, and attempts, were more common.

        Roosevelt, Hoover, and Truman all had assassination attempts, however I was not talking just about presidential ones. There were a lot of more local level ones.

      People also fought for us to be where we are now. They didn’t roll over and die like so many want to do now

        There were plenty of those people too. It was damn near impossible to convince the majority of people to join the war effort, hell, they may never actually have. The public, at large, was fine with doing business with the axis, and what came to be our allies, and didn’t think we should bother getting involved, it wasn’t our problem. It took the government going against these wishes, to engineer a situation in which it became our problem, before there was enough support to do something.

          You mean the people in government at the time stood up and fought against oppression? Because they were inspired by the facade of standing for freedom?

          People centric language can make history look more inspiring instead of damning some times
