LAD #22: Wilson's First Inaugural Address

In Woodrow Wilson's first inaugural address, the President addressed how the senate, house and the presidency has come under the rule of the democratic party. Wilson attributed this success of the party with the growing desire for change and reform among the people of this country. Wilson addressed how the nation has grown and become a world power over the past 150 years.

However, Wilson also talked about how these advances have had their own costs. The natural forests were being logged. In addition, thousands of factory workers had lost their lives to dangerous conditions and many more have been injured by such machinery. Wilson addressed how the tariff needed to be lowered and the government needed to be on the side of the people and not big businesses. Wilson's speech cried freedom and change to the entire country.
