The document itself is the text of the speech that the President gave after the Japanese bombing of the American military base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Its accuracy is easily verified by congressional record and historical scholarship, as well as radio recordings of the speech.

In terms of the historical context,

this speech was delivered to an anxious legislature as a declaration of war the day after the bombing. America was shocked to be the recipient of such treatment, with many of its citizens—and the national press—erroneously ascribing to the notions that Japan was inherently inferior, America was naturally superior, and the country could rely upon a certain “security from Axis attack.” The loss of innocence was pervasive in the psyche of the people. It was in the midst of this national shock and that Roosevelt delivered his impassioned address to a frightened nation which needed assurance, but also a reason to rise up and seek revenge.
