∙ 10y agoI think Roosevelt wanted the US to enter the war and the Lend-Lease Act was a way of gradually getting the American people mentally prepared for war. At least, it was a way of supporting the British and showing which side the US was on. It also provided some jobs and gave some work to US defense industries.
