Summary "State of the Union Addresses" by William McKinley is a collection of historical speeches delivered by the 25th President of the United States during the late 19th century. The addresses reflect McKinley's thoughts and policies on crucial national and foreign issues during his presidency, capturing a transformative era in American history, especially in relation to economic reform, military engagements, and foreign relations with Cuba and Spain. The opening of the first address, delivered on December 6, 1897, presents McKinley's greetings to the Congress while emphasizing national unity and the importance of shared governance. He discusses key issues such as tariff laws and currency reforms, stressing the need for a solid financial foundation. McKinley articulately outlines the U.S. government's role and responsibility in addressing foreign conflicts, particularly the ongoing situation between Spain and Cuba, illustrating the humanitarian concerns and geopolitical dynamics at play. This introductory portion sets the stage for a serious examination of pressing national challenges and embodies McKinley’s aspirations for peace, economic stability, and the nation’s role on the international stage.
