"State of the Union Addresses by Franklin Pierce" is a collection of presidential addresses delivered between 1853 and 1857.

He addressed tensions with Great Britain over fishing rights, Austrian conflicts regarding Martin Koszta's protection, and British influence in Central America. Domestically, Pierce advocated for constitutional restraint while supporting westward expansion and a transcontinental railroad. The address also
