The text below is from a speech given by President Franklin Roosevelt about European events in 1937: "It seems to be unfortunately true that the epidemic of world lawlessness is spreading. When an epidemic of physical disease starts to spread, the community approves and joins in a quarantine of the patients in order to protect the health of the community against the spread of the disease." Source: http://www.ibiblio.org/pha/7-2-188/188-07.html Which explains why the majority of Americans opposed Roosevelt's speech? Roosevelt discouraged U.S. involvement in the European conflict despite calls from former allies to become involved. Roosevelt argued in defense of fascist leaders in Europe, which angered citizens who believed in democratic principles. Roosevelt encouraged the U.S. government to remain neutral despite the rise of dictatorships in Europe. Roosevelt promoted U.S. intervention in the European conflict, which went against mainstream support of U.S. isolationism.

I am stuck between " Roosevelt discouraged U.S. involvement in the European conflict despite calls from former allies to become involved." and "Roosevelt promoted U.S. intervention in the European conflict, which went against mainstream support of U.S. isolationism."
Yep, it's the 2nd one (:
Roosevelt promoted U.S. intervention in the European conflict, which went against mainstream support of U.S. isolationism?
