The American people remembered how many Americans were killed or maimed in WWI. So the public was not interested in sending Americans to Europe again, to fight someone's else's battles. President Roosevelt knew that fighting for global democracy was important but he also knew that he would not get re-elected if he took such an unpopular course of action. Many German secret agents in America were working very hard to keep Americans from wanting to help Europe by fighting the German war machine. It was the cowardly sneak attack of the Japanese ( Pearl Harbor, Dec 7 '41 ) that immediately changed the public's attitude of not wanting to get involved in overseas hostilities.
