Answer:

In 1670, there was not a country called the United States of America, but there was only a collection of British colonies which weren´t free; they were under the authority of England´s crown. In 1860, the USA was a well established independent and democratic country, despite the deep political and social divisions of the time that would lead to the Civil War. The nation had its Constitution, citizens´rights (it is true not all people could enjoy them because of slavery) and separation of powers.  There were regular elections for president and Congress. Unfortunately, the democratic progress of the USA did not benefit all on an equal basis in the 19th century and good part of the 20th century. Even after the Civil War, the passing of the 14th Amendment and other laws, real legal equality was not achieved. Southern states approved legislation that impeded the effective use of African American rights to vote. So, democratic evolution hasn´t always generated benefits to all, but there´s been significant improvement since the 1960s.

How did FDR'S attitude towards neutrality change and how does the four freedoms speech explain that change?
Vikentia [17]
On January 6, 1941 President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered his eighth State of the Union address, now known as the Four Freedoms speech. The speech was intended to rally the American people against the Axis threat and to shift favor in support of assisting British and Allied troops. Roosevelt's words came at a time of extreme American isolationism; since World War I, many Americans sought to distance themselves from foreign entanglements, including foreign wars. Policies to curb immigration quotas and increase tariffs on imported goods were implemented, and a series of Neutrality Acts passed in the 1930s limited American arms and munitions assistance abroad.

In his address, Roosevelt called for the immediate increase in American arms production, and asked Americans to support his "Lend-Lease" program, which gave Allies cash-free access to US munitions. Most importantly, Roosevelt announced his vision for the world, "a world attainable in our own time and generation," and founded upon four essential human freedoms: freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.

These freedoms, Roosevelt declared, must triumph everywhere in the world, and act as a basis of a new moral order. "Freedom," Roosevelt declared, "means the supremacy of human rights everywhere."
