State Of The Union Addresses (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162685212)

""State of the Union Addresses"" is a collection of speeches delivered by the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. This book includes all of the annual messages to Congress that Lincoln gave during his presidency, from 1861 to 1865. These speeches cover a wide range of topics, including the Civil War, slavery, the economy, and foreign relations. They provide a fascinating insight into Lincoln's thoughts and strategies during one of the most tumultuous periods in American history. The book also includes an introduction that provides historical context and analysis of each speech. ""State of the Union Addresses"" is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, politics, or the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln.It is not my purpose to review our discussions with foreign states, because, whatever might be their wishes or dispositions, the integrity of our country and the stability of our Government mainly depend not upon them, but on the loyalty, virtue, patriotism, and intelligence of the American people. The correspondence itself, with the usual reservations, is herewith submitted.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
