di Calvin Coolidge (Autore)

Good Press, 2020

In his Fourth State of the Union Address, delivered on December 6, 1927, Calvin Coolidge presents a poignant reflection on the American spirit and national progress during a pivotal moment in history. Employing a concise and pragmatic literary style, Coolidge's address masterfully interweaves themes of economic growth, social welfare, and the importance of individualism within a democratic framework. The speech serves not only as an articulation of governmental policies but also as a clarion call for American unity and resilience during the Roaring Twenties, a period marked by cultural shifts and economic expansion. Calvin Coolidge, the 30th President of the United States (1923-1929), was shaped by his deep-rooted belief in limited government and self-reliance, values that permeate his address. Having ascended to the presidency after the sudden death of Warren G. Harding, Coolidge's emphasis on integrity and austerity resonated with the nation'Äôs needs. His experiences as a politician in the early 20th century and his reflections on contemporary society significantly influenced his oratory style, marked by clarity and a straightforward approach to complex issues. This address is highly recommended for anyone interested in understanding the ethos of early 20th-century America and the foundational principles that guided Coolidge'Äôs presidency. It is an essential read for students of American history and politics, offering insights into the motivations behind policy decisions and the enduring values of a rapidly changing nation.
