why did marshall think it would be difficult for ordinary americans to see the need european recovery program

Answer 1

Mr.Marshall thought that the ordinary American would not be able to comprehend the recovery program, for many Americans before still continued to believe in the isolationist theory, or that the US should stay out of world problems (which include the rebuilding of Europe). Also, the loss of thousands of soldiers and the way the war affected the ordinary civilian life would most likely put a bad taste in the ordinary American that may lead to a backlash on anymore European Programs (Affairs).
