John F. Kennedy’s inauguration speech was considered one of the most inspirational speeches in American history. He gave the speech to bolster the fighting spirit and act as an inspiration for the Americans. The reason for this is quite simple actually.

In 1828, Jackson won a “landslide” victory. The new Democratic party, which he helped forge, brought a temporary end to all the fighting and arguing of the parties in American politics. This time was sometimes called the “Era of Good Feelings” On December 22, 1928, a few weeks before Jackson’s inauguration, he was thrown into a deep sadness, caused by the death of his wife. He believed that she had died because of the abusive attacks by the press of the other side. Jackson at times would use his power and authority as a “Hot-Headed” man, going into simulated rages. And at other times, he could appear as the most courteous “Gentleman” alive. Even though his wife had just passed away, he made it to his inauguration. The morning was bright and clear. Yet there was still snow on the ground which made it very muddy. As Andrew looked out of his window, he saw all of the people coming to Washington to shake his hand. Usually the inauguration was a very peaceful and quiet event. Not this time! All of the guests were his friends. In their muddy boots, self-made coon-hats, and many other irregular clothes, the northwestern fur traders, mountain men, hunters, and old soldiers came marching to the White House. They broke through the lines of guards and came crashing through the front door. They ripped clothes, smashed fine china and glasses, and climbed on $150 chairs ruining them. In order to get all of these “vandals” out, the

Unlike Inaugural Address, January 20, 1961, Eleanor Clift’s, Inside Kennedy’s Inauguration, 50 Years On, used only pathos and personal accounts from citizens to narrate their similar overall style of unity persuasion. Clift added personal accounts such as one from Richard Goodwin stating, “Dick, did you see the Coast Guard contingent in the parade? There was not a single black face in that delegation, and I want you to do something about it right away.”, to emphasize Goodwins trust in Kennedy to unify races. This statement, concluded that the author had faith in Kennedy, and was persuading her audience to do so too. Pathos was also utilized briefly throughout the dialogue between Rep. Charles Buckley and Seigenthaler that articulates ”What’s the

He had a wife, daughters and a son, grandchildren. He wanted to live, and he chafed at the delay, question it, until Brigs' voice rang out like the clap of hammer to anvil, and he did as he was told.

Andrew Jackson was one of the most popular Presidents. When he was inaugurated, thousands of the people who elected him, the middle and lower class, thronged the streets of Washington. It had recently rained, and the milling throng quickly turned the streets to mud. In the White House, velvet chairs were imprinted with the muddy boot marks of men, a testimonial to the sort that partied there after the oath was administered. This popularity of the “Gineral” (as friends and companions of Jackson called him) completely changed how the President was seen. Before, the Hamiltonians and their fellow aristocrats (excepting, of course, the first President, who was elected because he was the only popular national figure) had been aloof, seeing their office as a mark of how much better they were than the common man. But Jackson was merely the First Citizen, a true representative of the people. And he used his popularity to true advantage. Jackson vetoed more bills than his predecessors

Eleanor Clift’s, Inside Kennedy’s Inauguration, 50 Years On, had the same overall style of unity as Inaugural Address, January 20, 1961, yet took a much different approach to transmit this style. Clift’s technique included the use of prolonged, personal accounts from citizens during JFK‘s inauguration, and the use of pathos. Personal accounts such as one from Richard Goodwin stating, “Dick, did you see the Coast Guard contingent in the parade? There was not a single black face in that delegation, and I want you to do something about it right away.”, emphasizes Goodwins trust in Kennedy to unify races. Clift also added pathos throughout dialogue between Rep. Charles Buckley and Seigenthaler that articulates ”What’s the best inaugural you’ve been to?” he asked. “the one we’re going to tomorrow,” said Rep. Charles Buckley’s New York. … “ We forgot, looking back on it, how powerful the anti-Catholic effort was,” Seigenthaler says now. “There were frozen tears of joy in the cheeks of Irish Catholics that day.” While adding another source for reliability, Clift also used a rhetorical device to emphasize not only Kennedy’s goal for unity, but her inclusive style of unity.

The President Mckinley’s Personal Secretary thought that it was dangerous in the open like that. There were lots of people trying to convince President McKinley that the speech was not worth possibly dying for but President McKinley said that he didn't think anyone wanted to hurt him. After all he won both elections by a ton of votes. Boy was Mckinley wrong, Leon Czolgosz thought that President Mckinley and the government were very very corrupt, which made Leon hate the government and he decided to take matters into his own hands and kill President Mckinley.

The candidates for president had changed from the “aristocracy” to the “common man” who were lawyers, candle makers, silversmiths, and small shop owners. John Adams predicted that the right to vote would be extended. But, this was not his wish. He actually liked things the way that they were. He liked the generations of aristocracy continuing their reign of power. During the campaigns the candidates were physically out more openly among the people at simple barbeques, parades, and rallies. This reminded me of the day that Trump, Clinton, and others were all at the state fair in Iowa, walking and talking among the average man, woman, and child. Jackson and Adams both used negative campaigning against their opponents. Jackson’s followers complained that Adams campaigned on Sundays and Adams claimed that Jackson’s marriage was not legal. The common saying was that Adams could write but that Jackson could fight. Today, we have a lot of negative campaigning and avoidance of actual meaningful questions that the people want to know the answers

On snowy, freezing cold January morning in 1961, five hundred thousand people lined Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. The temperature was only twenty-two degrees Fahrenheit and eight inches of snow blanketed the ground in the American capitol that morning, causing even more traffic than usual, but that didn’t stop these hundreds of thousands of people from attending John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s inauguration ceremony. Little did they know, they would be hearing one of the most famous and memorable speeches of all time. Out of all forty five presidents, the inaugural address that American citizens would remember more than all the rest was that of John F. Kennedy. But what made it so memorable?

Kennedy’s speech was neither the most elaborate nor the longest; it had one thousand three hundred and sixty four words and took thirteen minutes and fifty five seconds to read and it used relatively simple language. The importance of the address laid not in the length or the intricacy, but in the theme and the rhetoric. With figurative language, themes of unity and freedom, and appeal to Ethos, Logos, and Pathos, Kennedy’s address became not only one of the most memorable inaugural addresses, but one of the most memorable speeches of all time.

My heart pounded as my feet gradually left the safety of the grounds and began its ascent on a ladder that rattled on every step.
