Description
The 1940 U.S. Presidential election took place during a crucial period in world history, with a war in Europe threatening to encompass the entire world. Incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt sought a third term, breaking with tradition, as the nation grappled with economic challenges, internal divisions, and international tensions. Avoiding war was a major part of Roosevelt’s platform during the election, as shown on this ephemeral broadsheet issued by the Democratic National Committee.
That the country does not want war is stated as a fact, though there is a recognition that the policy of appeasement had failed. Roosevelt’s track record with the Good Neighbor policy is also referenced, though somewhat disingenuously since it originated as a strategy for non-intervention.
