Read this passage from the book the history of the united states. what is the implied main idea? to the schools, few and scattered as they were, and to the vigilance of parents, a very large portion, perhaps nearly one-half, of the colonists could read. through the newspapers, pamphlets, and almanacs that streamed from the types, the people could follow the course of public events and grasp the significance of political arguments. an american opinion was in the process of making—an independent opinion nourished by the press and enriched by discussions around the fireside and at the taverns. when the day of resistance to british rule came, government by opinion was at hand. for every person who could hear the voice of patrick henry and samuel adams, there were a thousand who could see their appeals on the printed page. men who had spelled out their letters while poring over franklin's poor richard's almanac lived to read thomas paine's thrilling call to arms. more people could read in america than could read in europe. benjamin franklin was most responsible for teaching men to read. if the colonists had not been able to read, they might not have fought for independence. there were not many schools in colonial america.

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.
