What is the main idea of the articles? A. There were heavy casualties at the Battle of Shiloh. B. A Confederate leader, General Johnston, died at the Battle of Shiloh. C. The Confederate army planned a surprise attack at Pittsburg Landing. D. In a tough battle, the Union army defeated the Confederate army at Shiloh.

Incomplete question. I assumed you are referring to the article found on the History website entitled, "The Battle of Shiloh"

A. There were heavy casualties at the Battle of Shiloh.

Explanation:

We can make this conclusion because throughout the text there were several mentions about the losses on both sides (on the Confederate side and the Union army side).

For example, the first paragraph of the article explicitly stated,

"Both sides suffered heavy losses, with more than 23,000 total casualties, and the level of violence shocked North and South alike."

Also after mentioning the wins and losses experienced by the opposing sides during the Civil war, the article concluded, "It was a sobering reminder to all in the Union and the Confederacy that the war would be long and costly." This continuous reference to this forms the main idea of the articles.

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.
