How we cite our quotes: (Sentence number)
Quote #1
I know that when you understand what we in Washington have been about, I shall continue to have your cooperation as fully as I have had your sympathy and your help during the past week. (6)
In asking for the public's cooperation, FDR is appealing to our sense of responsibility. He creates a sense of "we're in this together" by combining cooperation, sympathy, and help all in the same statement. Notice his phrasing at the beginning—he's being honest and transparent, describing what's going on at the government level. When he speaks in such a way, responsibility feels less like a command, and more like a duty the people are happy to fulfill.
Quote #2
Because of undermined confidence on the part of the public, there was a general rush by a large portion of our population to turn bank deposits into currency or gold—a rush so great that the soundest banks couldn't get enough currency to meet the demand. (13)
FDR references the infamous bank runs. This statement isn't exactly accusatory, but it's certainly a warning. By talking about the population in general, and describing the undesirable behavior (rushing the banks), he's sending a message of duty—it is Americans' duty to not panic, and to not rush the banks. Keep in mind that FDR is about to reopen the banks, and he knows the past may repeat itself.
Quote #3
Let me make it clear to you that the banks will take care of all needs, except, of course, the hysterical demands of hoarders. (45)
Hoarders in the Great Depression weren't people that kept hundreds of old CVS bags; they were people who kept cash in their houses instead of the bank out of fear that the banks would lose their money.
And to be honest, they weren't that far off.
However, FDR has a very valid point that hoarding harms the economy. By calling out those who had or were thinking about hoarding their money, FDR instills a sense of duty and responsibility to the nation.
