Overview
A collection of monumental presidential speeches that have influenced democracy, now freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Gilded Editions line.
The speeches collected in this volume, delivered by the best-known American presidents, are historical documents. The subjects that they address, however, are perennial themes that define (and re-define) our democracy with each new administration’s legislation: state laws versus federal laws, citizen’s right to vote in free and fair elections, the separation of church and state, the cooperation of allies and the aggression of foes, freedom of the press, the authority to wage war, and more.
This indispensable volume of American history features landmark speeches including George Washington’s Farewell Address, Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s “we have nothing to feat but fear itself” first inaugural address.
