“Washington’s Farewell Address” is a compelling and inspiring speech that lifts the spirits of Americans while George Washington rejects taking a third term as President of the United States. This speech was never spoken to an audience, however, the speech was published in the American Daily Advertiser newspaper. This speech was created by George Washington, but James Madison and Alexander Hamilton helped Washington edit the document. It took George Washington, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton 5 years to publish the speech. The speech was finally published in 1796.

Within his speech, Barack Obama admits that the United States is in the "midst of a crisis" but he believes that it can change, but he also makes it clear that the change cannot happen overnight. Obama's inspirational tone stirs up the nation with phrases such as “dust ourselves off” and “bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions.” Barack Obama's message persuades his audience because the message is believable and delivered by an honest man. In his previous speeches, Obama spoke of race and prejudice, an economic crisis and his hopes and fears with such intelligence that when

In George Washington 's Farewell Address, Washington warns against the dangers of political factions by stating, “it occurs as matter of serious concern that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by geographical discriminations, Northern and Southern, Atlantic and Western; whence designing men may endeavor to excite a belief that there is a real difference of local interests and views” (Washington). However, despite American leaders such as George Washington and James Madison warning of factionalism, the country would be divided by political parties arising out of the Northern and Southern states of the union. By the time Walt Whitman wrote “Songs of Myself” in 1855, tensions in the United States created by factionalism were at a high and were constantly elevating. In writing “Songs of Myself”, Whitman sought to help mend some of the wounds created by factionalism by seeking to bring together Americans whom factionalism had rendered alien to one another and by teaching to believe in oneself rather than the beliefs of political parties.

Both Roosevelt's “Four Freedoms” speech and Kennedy's Inaugural Address discuss freedom. Throughout reading two similar speeches, they had one specific thing in common.

On March 4, 1865 Abraham Lincoln delivered his second inaugural address as president of the United States. The inaugural address came at the very end of the American Civil War, and just a month before the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Prior to this address, the United States had been split into two different independent states, the Union and the Confederacy. Throughout Abraham Lincoln’s first term and the very beginning of his second, Lincoln had to deal with the secession of the eleven states that made up the Confederacy. Also during the war, Lincoln competed in the 1864 presidential election in which his leadership was challenged by George B. McClellan. This inaugural address was important at the time, and remains a relic of Abraham Lincoln’s powerful speaking ability.

George Washington had to borrow money to relocate to New York, then the center of American government. His presidential inauguration was held near New York 's Wall Street in late April 1789. A tremendous crowd showed up to see the man now known as "the Father of His Country." Borrowing a custom from English monarchs, who by tradition address Parliament when its sessions open, Washington gave a brief speech. It was the first inaugural address and the first of many contributions that Washington would make to the office of the presidency. But this would be no monarch; the new leader wore a plain brown suit.

The early issues that faced the United States did help define and set precedence for the nation and government. In the past, the United States faced many issues that caused concern for how the government should develop and define the future nation.

On the contrary, others believe that the early issues that faced the United States

On the date of April 30, 1789, George Washington, directly and indirectly, defined the presidency in his first inaugural address. There were definitely many political ideals that animated George Washington’s speech but, the main ideals were derived from the constitution of the United States. One important element of the constitution that Washington believed in was, that as president, his role in government and society was to follow the will of the people. In the following line, Washington assures the people of the United States that as president he will make their voice heard. “In tendering this homage to the Great Author of every public and private good I assure myself that it expresses your sentiments not less than my own; nor those of my fellow-citizens at large, less than either.” (Washington 2). Washington knew first hand how important it was to represent the people he governed over, seeing as how proper representation was one of the leading reasons for the American revolution.

Published in David C. Claypoole’s American Daily Adviser, on September 19, 1796 was George Washington's Farewell Speech. The speech was used to warn us Americans about republicanism, support of the republic system of government. He also warned us about discrimination between the parties.

The central Theme of President Obama’s inaugural address was to call to restore responsibility. In his inaugural address, Obama mentioned that “for the world has changed, and we must change with it” (Obama). He said that “what is required is a new era of responsibility- a recognition on the part of every American that we have duties to ourselves, our nations and the world” (Obama).

The last part is emphasized by Obama because he gives rhetorical questions (“…, what change will they see?”, l. 97, “What progress will we have made?”, ll. 97-98) that should make the people think about what they did, what they changed and what they

In the same paragraph he states, “We can argue about how to best achieve these goals. But we can’t be complacent about the goals themselves.” This tells the Americans that using social media to rant won’t make a difference. The amount of conflict between individuals is only spiking the fire of political tension. People won’t create opportunities by fighting over who should be elected or what should be changed. Instead people need to walk outside and battle for what is right to an individual. Barack Obama strives to motivate fellow Americans to make a difference.
