Read the excerpt from Votes for Women: At the Seneca Falls Convention in July 1848, women like Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton signed the Declaration of Sentiments, a document expressing their concerns about the role of women in the United States. For example, at the time married women could not own property, and the education and employment of women was limited. These women decided that to change the law, women needed to be able to vote. Some thought that peaceful methods were the best way for the Women's Suffrage Movement to obtain its goal, while others believed that a more aggressive strategy was necessary.

The peaceful approach in the Women's Suffrage Movement changed the United States over time. At first, there was resistance to the idea of women having the vote. Many believed that the practice of politics was masculine and men should vote on behalf of their wives and daughters. When African American men were granted the right to vote in the 15th Amendment, women of any race were not included. This decision discouraged many women, but they still organized themselves into groups, like the National American Woman Suffrage Association, in order to campaign for the vote. They argued that voting women would benefit society, and published newspaper articles and other literature about women's rights. From 1878 until 1920, the idea of women's suffrage was brought before Congress every year. In the meantime, women also campaigned for the vote in different states. During World War I, many women did jobs regularly done by men. Their contributions to the United States and the influence of Carrie Chapman Catt caused President Woodrow Wilson to finally support women's suffrage. The peaceful approach changed opinions over time and ultimately led to the 19th Amendment.

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.

honestly this is the biggest mood ever, i couldn't relate to this more

explanation:

first of all the mood needs to be defined: it is obviously a mood of deceitful relief and serenity. why? because the cape horn is one of the most violent maritime regions of earth and although it has been left behind, it is a personification of ahab’s delirium and the fact that the end of the passage speaks about it about being “hidden” but “raving” immediately conveys the feeling the calm is not permanent but fleeting.

furthermore, the oxymoron “mild stun'sails” is the first instance of such feeling as the adjective “mild” is associated with “stunned” underscoring the fleeting nature of this “tranquil” moment. and the contrasts keep piling up, with the opposition between “dark den” and “blessed light and air” to end with the final conclusion that leaves the reader with the uneasy knowledge that this is just a reprieve.
