All of the leaders among these progressive groups had a very strong sense of purpose and determination. Two personal traits that are key if they were to break the current status quo of the societies they lived in.
<u>Similarities:</u>
- The speech these groups used aimed to find common ground among the potential followers they were aiming to get.
<u>Differences:</u>
- Their strategies were not always the same. Associations that demanded workers rights would engage in violent acts in a couple of occasions. This deferred from King's Civil Rights movement that offered a Gandhi--style peaceful approach while claiming their rights.
Although the 3 groups were demanding rights, they would not necessarily share the beliefs or goals of the others. For instance, associations that fought for workers rights would not necessarily support equal rights for African Americans or Women and vice-versa.
<span>When Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave his State of the Union address in 1941, the United States was once again on the brink of a world war. In the devastating aftermath of World War I, the United States adopted an isolationist stance, declining to join the League of Nations, refusing to sign the Versailles Treaty, and implementing the Neutrality Acts. All of these steps were taken to avoid any future US involvement in another Great War. By 1940, however, France had fallen to Germany, and the Axis Powers’ domination of Europe was nearly complete. Roosevelt, who was strongly opposed to the isolationist stance of the US, had been providing Great Britain with supplies but was prevented from openly declaring war or sending in troops. Roosevelt’s carefully crafted State of the Union speech was designed to outline the justifications for the direct involvement of the United States in World War II—a conflict he believed the US would eventually be forced to enter regardless. In his address (which would later be known as the Four Freedoms Speech), Roosevelt pointed to “four essential human freedoms” that the United States should fight to protect. Roosevelt’s speech resonated very deeply with the American public and his four freedoms came to represent both America’s wartime goals and the core values of American life.</span>

Violence I believe. Or a peaceful protest. Can't remember.
