Savatey [412]

The correct answer is A. persuasive essay.

Indeed, Wilson had sent a series of messages to Congress in order to persuade them to declare War on Germany and the Central Powers. It is a clear utilization of Pathos as he dismisses the idea that the war is being waged due to conflicting European imperial interests but due to the “savagery” of Germans. Historically speaking he was alluding to the decision of Germany to resume its U-Boat war against neutral civilian passenger ships. He is using relatable, emotional arguments to Congress and Americans who would be horrified if their own “men, women and children” were the victims of German “wholesome destruction”.
