LAD #28: Wilson's First Inaugural Address

Woodrow Wilson

In this address, Wilson notes the government is slowly being taken over and controlled by the Democratic Party. He says the success of the nation will lead to the success of America. Wilson proclaims that life, specifically life in America, is good, and has led to happiness. However, it has not been all good. Many valuable resources have been squandered, and the cost of industrial expansion has been great. Wilson says that it is the duty of the American people to correct the evil without destroying the good that was created by its prospects. He points out several national systems that need to be resolved to fix the issues, like foreign tariffs, banking, labor, and agriculture.Wilson also urges the government that protecting the citizens should be its highest priority, and wants to ensure that the people focus less on celebrating their success, and more on solutions and progress for the future.
