| Summary | "State of the Union Addresses" by Abraham Lincoln is a historical collection of political speeches delivered by the President during the mid-19th century, specifically during the years of the American Civil War. The addresses chronicle Lincoln's reflections on national unity, governance, and foreign affairs, addressing a nation embroiled in conflict and division. The opening of this collection presents Lincoln's first State of the Union Address from December 3, 1861. He begins by expressing gratitude for the blessings of health and harvest amidst the trials of political unrest and insurrection. He acknowledges the threats from disloyal citizens attempting to dismantle the Union and emphasizes the importance of loyalty from the American people. As he discusses foreign relations, Lincoln underscores the idea that the strength and survival of the nation depend largely on domestic unity rather than external influences. He advocates for military preparedness, economic prudence, and a vision for infrastructural improvements to bolster national defense, while consistently focusing on the overarching goal of preserving the Union.
