LAD/Blog #30: Wilson's First Inaugural

Wilson starts by addressing how most aspects of the government have become democratic. He says this is because the nation is turning back to tradition once again and seeing it in a different way. He applauds the strong morality of the nation, all of the new goods being produced, and the democratic shift, but realizes places that the U.S. needs to improve. Most importantly, individual rights. Wilson says that because the nation has so hastily industrialized, many problems have arose which were covered up with “good” things that were happening, but now those bad things are coming to the surface and need to be addressed. He says some changes that need to be made include: getting rid of the tariff, putting more time into forests and restoring the environment, stressing the importance of farming and agriculture, reforming the banking and money systems, and lastly, there needs to be a lot of reforms made in the workplace to protect workers. He is looking to making America a wonderful and prosperous nation by improving “every corner” of it.
