Title State of the Union Addresses
Credits Produced by James Linden. HTML version by Al Haines.
Summary "State of the Union Addresses" by Ulysses S. Grant is a collection of historical speeches delivered by the 18th President of the United States during the late 19th century. The addresses encompass Grant’s reflections on various key issues of the time, including the Reconstruction era following the Civil War, economic recovery, foreign relations, and governance. These speeches serve not only as a record of Grant's thoughts and policies during his presidency but also as a reflection of the political and social climate of the United States during that period. The opening of the collection presents Grant’s first State of the Union address delivered on December 6, 1869. In this address, he expresses gratitude for the nation’s blessings of peace, territorial wealth, and national unity, while acknowledging the aftermath of the Civil War and the challenges of Reconstruction. He discusses the progress made in restoring states that had seceded, highlights the importance of safeguarding the rights of freedmen, and addresses the economic implications of a fluctuating currency. Grant’s emphatic tone demonstrates his dedication to navigating the nation through the complexities of rebuilding and maintaining harmony after a divisive conflict.
