Why did Franklin Roosevelt say a date which will live in infamy?

The quote "a date which will live in infamy" was said by Franklin Roosevelt in his speech after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The speech was given to a joint session of the United States Congress on the day after the attack, and asked for a declaration of war against the Empire of Japan. The quote was used to describe the attack and the date it happened, which was expected to be remembered for its disastrous consequences and the significant impact it had on the course of World War II.
