Read the excerpt below from only yesterday, an informal history of the 1920's, chapter 3 "the big red scare" section 6 and answer the question. if a white girl reported that a colored man had made improper advances to her even if the charge were unsupported and based on nothing more than a neurotic imagination a white-sheeted band might spirit the negro off to the woods and teach him a lesson with tar and feathers or with the whip. if a white man stood up for a negro in a race quarrel, he might be kidnapped and beaten up. if a colored woman refused to sell her land at an arbitrary price which she considered too low, and a klansman wanted the land, she might receive the k. k. k. ultimatum-sell or be thrown out. klan members would boycott jewish merchants, refuse to hire catholic boys, refuse to rent their houses to catholics. what is the best definition you can infer for the word "boycott" from the excerpt above? globalize join in refuse to have dealings with buy goods or services

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
