Roosevelt wanted to join Churchill in the fight against Hitler, but he had to overcome the resistance of the America First isolationists. Following Pearl Harbor, all resistance dissolved.
Isolationists put forth the idea that the war was none of America's business and that we should not take part. However, when the Attack on Pearl Harbor occurred, it showed that even if the US wanted to stay out of the war, the war would not stay away from the US. A direct attack on an American military base was a declaration of war and could not be ignored. Even die-hard isolationists could not support a non-aggressive military policy after that. Thus, the political divisions between the two camps dissolved as the people formed a united front against the aggressors: the Axis powers.
