Publisher's Synopsis
""State of the Union Addresses"" is a collection of speeches delivered by Millard Fillmore, the 13th President of the United States, to Congress during his presidency from 1850 to 1852. The book contains seven addresses, covering topics such as slavery, territorial expansion, foreign relations, and economic policies. The speeches provide insight into Fillmore's political beliefs and priorities during a tumultuous time in American history, including the Compromise of 1850 and the growing tensions between the North and South. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the political climate of the mid-19th century and the presidency of Millard Fillmore.The brief space which has elapsed since the close of your last session has been marked by no extraordinary political event. The quadrennial election of Chief Magistrate has passed off with less than the usual excitement. However individuals and parties may have been disappointed in the result, it is, nevertheless, a subject of national congratulation that the choice has been effected by the independent suffrages of a free people, undisturbed by those influences which in other countries have too often affected the purity of popular elections.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
