Roosevelt stopped short of asking that Americans remain emotionally neutral in the European conflict. FDR knew that the only chance Britain and France would have to defeat the German Reich was to have ample supplies of weaponry. He immediately began to press Congress to repeal the ARMS EMBARGO.

The request was simple. Allow trade of MUNITIONS with belligerent nations on a "cash and carry" basis. There would be no danger to American shipping if the Allies had to carry the supplies on their own ships. Isolationists were concerned, but support for the President's initiative was strong enough. The NEUTRALITY ACT OF 1939 ended the arms embargo and permitted the sales of munitions on a "cash and carry" basis.

Hope this answer helps! feel free to ask any additional questions :)

Evaluate the cultural, social, political, and economic characteristics of the Renaissance that marked the end of the medieval er
Whitepunk [10]
Culturally, the medieval era was dominated by the church which emphasized human beings' lowliness in contrast to the greatness and holiness of God.  The church remained strong in the Renaissance, but humanists of the Renaissance emphasized the God-given capabilities of human beings, created to do great things.  And so, many great things were done by energetic and imaginative human beings of the Renaissance -- in art, architecture, literature, science, etc.

Socially, politically, and economically, medieval life focused on feudalism and agricultural life.  The people lived on lands owned by the great landowners (the nobility), and the political power centered in the hands of those nobles.  Economic value was tied to land ownership and agricultural production.  In the Renaissance, cities rose to prominence.  Banking and trade and budding industries became new ways of generating wealth, social status, and political power.
