State of the Union Addresses
The 'State of the Union Addresses' is a collection of speeches by President Andrew Johnson, delivered in the mid-19th century, particularly after the Civil War. Beginning with his address on December 4, 1865, Johnson reflects on the restoration of the Union, emphasizing the Constitution's role in governance and the nullification of secession. He advocates for healing policies that unite citizens and address the rights of formerly enslaved individuals, highlighting the complexities of post-war America. This collection is notable for its insights into the political climate and civil rights during a pivotal moment in U.S. history.

“The national defense must be provided for as well as the support of Government; but both should be accomplished as much as possible by immediate taxes, and as little as possible by loans.””
