C. A threatened feeling

In the excerpt Truman is saying that Communists are trying "to stamp our freedom all over the world." He then states that this would include the United States. The purpose of including the United States is to show the American people that they would be in danger as well. He is creating a threatening feeling. In this excerpt, he is not trying to evoke a patriotic feeling. He is not calling people to band together and fight for their freedom as part of a nation, yet. In this part of his speech he is showing the danger that could arise.
