Read the following excerpt from the Truman Doctrine and answer the question below.

"The seeds of totalitarian regimes are nurtured by misery and want. They spread and grow in the evil soil of poverty and strife. They reach their full growth when the hope of a people for a better life has died.
We must keep that hope alive.
The free people of the world look to us for support in maintaining their freedoms."

Describe the tone of President Truman's address to Congress.

He is describing totalitarianism as regimes that are based on misery and want and the people that believe/follow those are in poverty and strife so they want the successful people dead. The tone is kinda saying fight with me I can help but also has a negative connotative towards totalitarianism.
