Wallace And Long Speech Analysis

In 1963 Wallace proved that he would stand behind his campaign from 1962. On June 11, 1963, Wallace stood in the doorway at the University of Alabama, blocking two black students from gaining access. This was his second act of defying federal government orders. Again in September 1963, Wallace ordered schools in Alabama closed to keep the federal government from integrating schools.

Alexander H. Stephen, in the ‘Cornerstone Speech’, firmly stated that, the Confederacy was basically on racial inequality and slavery. He clearly outlined the existing differences between the new nation and the American United States. Stephen made it clear that, the Confederacy of the cornerstone was not primarily of chattel slavery, but the black people subordination benefited the white people. Thus, he tied slavery to race. Confederacy was the origin of the era of apartheid in South Africa. Stephen made declarations that the new government was founded on the great truth , that the negro was not equal on the side of the white people and that, slavery which was to be a subordination to the white race which was superior, was a normal and a natural condition. Stephen criticized the claims of the northern that, African enslavement was a law violation nature and that it was a wrong principle, morally, politically and socially. He clearly put across that his new government had an idea which was exactly different from the northern claims. He argued that, it was a kind of insanity to believe that the Negro will be equal between the white and black people and also that, enslaving the blacks was wrong. He made predictions that, the Confederate constitution has settled all the questions relating to the African slavery which existed among the white people. Stephen’s arguments led to the outbreak of the civil war in 1865 (The Teaching AmericanHistory.org, 2017).

Alexander H. Stephens was born February 11, 1812 and passed March 4, 1883. Stephens was an American politician during the United States Civil War. He was the Vice President for the Confederate States. He well known for his speech, the Corner Stone Speech also known as the Cornerstone Address. He delivered this speech March 21, 1861. Stephens reasoning behind this speech was to declare the continuation of slavery.

Cornel West spoke at Texas A&M University-Commerce as a guest speaker on September 28th in order to discuss why race matters in 2016. He talked about different subjects including race in politics, social justice, social economics, police accountability, and prominent social justice warriors. Filling the shoes of Martin Luther King Jr., Dr. West kindly educated the students and faculty by discussing the current racial justice movement, what the movement stands for, and what they intend to do. The insight that Dr. West offered helped me better understand the difficulties of racial tension, and what we can do to stop both racial and social injustice. What I found particularly interesting about his speech was the way that he captivated the audience.

The date is June 6th, 1984, and American President Ronald Reagan stands solemnly before a massive stone monument on what he calls "a lonely, windswept point on the northern shore of France." On this historic day, the President of the United States stands solemnly before a small crowd of some of the bravest men living. The men assembled before him know these cliffs well. These are the Rangers who scaled the cliffs 40 years ago to do more than win the cliffs on the shores of Normandy. These are the Rangers who began the retaking of the entirety of Europe from Axis Control. That was 40 years ago, now only 90 of the original 225 sit before him now. All that can be heard are the crash of the waves on beach below and the occasional cry of a seagull

Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, in Hardin County. Kentucky. He comes from a family that was neither wealthy of well recognized. Despite this, he had a longing for knowledge and worked very hard to be successful in his studies. His determination led him to become a self-trained lawyer who worked for the Illinois court circuit. Many people that worked around him witnessed his determination and capacity for hard work. Lincoln became a respected member of the Illinois legal circuit and his reputation gained him the nickname “Honest Abe.” As a lawyer, Lincoln developed the ability to thick quickly and debate on public issues, which encouraged him to begin his life in politics. In the year 1847, Lincoln

“So God made a farmer” (Harvey). This famous phrase was originally spoken by a famous radio personality Paul Harvey, and last year was heard by many on the night of the 2013 Super Bowl in a Rams truck commercial. It is impressive that a speech that was originally written and spoken in 1978, reached out to an audience in today’s age and is still relevant to people with many different backgrounds. In this essay, I am going to analyze Paul Harvey’s speech and delivery by discussing what rhetorical strategies he used and why these tactics worked, and finally how the speech could have been improved.

The dramatic “Stand in the Door” was all for show of course. Wallace stood aside, allowing three black students to register for classes later that day, but the effects of the speech would have wide repercussions. Wallace received nearly 100,000 telegrams in response to his speech from all across the country, an almost unheard of number for a lowly Southern governor. More shocking still was that nearly all of them, about 95%, were praising his bravery. (Lopez, 15) “They all hate black people, all of them.” Wallace reportedly exclaimed, “They’re all afraid, all of them Great God! That’s it! They’re all Southern. The whole US is Southern!” (Lopez, 15)

Devinatz focuses the article on the similarities between the new president elect, Donald J. Trump and the 1968 election of George Wallace. Devinatz informs the reader that while Donald Trump’ presidency was an event that took the nation by surprise, mostly white union members voted for Trump just like they voted for Wallace because their campaign strategy was similar. Devinatz exclaims that Wallace used comparable rhetoric to Trump’s to get the crowd on his side at rallies, the rhetoric they both used was racial rhetoric. Wallace and Trump used the racial fears that immigrants and people of color would take the white Americans jobs to get the votes and gain political power. The overall argument Devinatz is making is that presidential canidates

George C. Wallace was born in Clio, Alabama, on August 25, 1919. After law school and military service, he embarked on a career as a judge and local politician. He served four terms as Alabama governor, from the 1960s through the 1980s, and ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. presidency three times. Despite his later efforts to revise his public image, Wallace is remembered for his strong support of racial segregation in the '60s. He died in Montgomery, Alabama, on September 13,

The 1960s and 1970s, this decade is characterized as an era full of turmoil. During this era, civil rights were the major issue in the United States of America, and George Corley Wallace Jr. had great role. George C. Wallace was born on August 25, 1919, in Clio, Alabama. His father was a farmer and his mother was in orphanage because her mother gave up raising her. George C. Wallace was grew in a not wealthy family.

Brechin begins his chapter with President Ronald Reagan's speeches which “fir[e] the public imagination with short, symbolic messages”. Reagan promoted ideas such as purpose, freedom and history’s journey. An example which he refers to is the Alamo which pushed pest singing the idealistic song of daring, decent and fair. Despite the poor conditions Washington faced the president spoke of dreams and human progress which is limitless. Brechin refers back to this speech throughout the chapter since these same ideas were used to convince individuals to take the journey to California. This journey was promoted as natural as the Israelites who entered Canaan and the holy family to the New World. Individuals were granted divine justification for

Kairos is a type of argumentative persuasion in the both speakers tried to get their appeal across to the nation by using the Civil Rights movement that was happening at the time to there advantage. When appealing to the nation the speakers use common ground to get the people in agreeing with their statements before telling them what changes that they want to happen. In Wallace’s inaugural address at the capitol of Alabama he used segregation push his campaign. He addresses the concerns to his followers that they are in trouble if the nation doesn’t start segregation in America our freedom would be taken away from us. Six months after that speech Dr. King gave his “I Have a Dream” after the march on Washington D.C with the hundreds of people present. In the front of Lincoln Memorial as a sign of freedom he appealed to the nation that it needed to come together because that is what makes America great. In an opinion in the similarities these two speeches both speakers are trying to persuade the United States of America in to their belief in what this nation should be run. Another similarity is the chose of locations that they both chose being at historic landmarks. The differences can be found in the way these men used their time, Dr. King gave a short but powerful speech that got strait to the point of the topic he wanted to get across while Wallace gave a long speech that took awhile to get to the point and that lost peoples attention. The manner in witch

Lyndon Johnson was convinced that liberal nationalism and the power of the federal government could transform society. His faith grew out of his youthful experiences with poverty in Texas, his political apprenticeship during the New Deal, and his desire to surpass Roosevelt's legacy. When he took office in November 1963, after John F. Kennedy's death, Johnson inherited the early initiatives to address poverty that the Kennedy administration had under consideration. With characteristic enthusiasm and expansiveness, Johnson declared a war on poverty in 1964 and pushed legislation through Congress to establish the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO).In this speech, the purpose Lyndon B. Johnson outlines his vision and goals for "The Great

Throughout history, when it comes to a national crisis, many leaders and politicians tend to advance towards what the people want to hear. In order to gain their audience’s support, most political leaders and public speakers use the practice of demagoguery to have useful influence held towards their argument. In Patricia Roberts-Miller’s article “Democracy, Demagoguery, and Critical Rhetoric,” analyzes what demagoguery is and how it affects the audience. Speakers or authoritative figures that engage with demagoguery use strategies such as scapegoating and polarization in order to establish a separation between in-groups and out-groups; in-groups tend to form hateful discrimination on out-groups and define them with negative features. An example of demagoguery that Roberts-Miller uses is in Adolf Hitler’s speech about how he wanted German people to change their views and beliefs on the Jewish. Her article however, also consists of several fallacies and may seem somewhat unethical. Throughout Wayne LaPierre’s speech on the Newtown Tragedy in 2012, there is usage of what Roberts-Miller claims to be demagoguery. Wayne LaPierre is the Vice President of the National Rifle Association (NRA). After the shooting that occurred at Sandy Hook elementary, LaPierre expresses his sympathy for the families of the loss and he then gathers the attention of parents who may be uneasy about their children’s safety at school.
