“You need at this time especially to know that you are fit for something better than slavery and cannon fodder.”
The Canton, Ohio Speech, Anti-War Speech (1918)
Context: You need at this time especially to know that you are fit for something better than slavery and cannon fodder. You need to know that you were not created to work and produce and impoverish yourself to enrich an idle exploiter. You need to know that you have a mind to improve, a soul to develop, and a manhood to sustain.
