{ "item_title" : "State Of The Union Addresses", "item_author" : [" Rutherford B. Hayes "], "item_description" : "State of the Union Addresses is a collection of speeches delivered by Rutherford B. Hayes, the 19th President of the United States. The book includes all of Hayes' annual addresses to Congress during his presidency, from 1877 to 1881. In these speeches, Hayes discusses a wide range of topics, including the economy, foreign relations, civil rights, and education. He also addresses issues specific to his time, such as the Reconstruction era and the ongoing conflict with Native American tribes. This book provides a valuable insight into the political and social climate of the late 19th century, as well as the perspective of one of America's lesser-known presidents.The sentiment that the constitutional rights of all our citizens must be maintained does not grow weaker. It will continue to control the Government of the country. Happily, the history of the late election shows that in many parts of the country where opposition to the fifteenth amendment has heretofore prevailed it is diminishing, and is likely to cease altogether if firm and well-considered action is taken by Congress. I trust the House of Representatives and the Senate, which have the right to judge of the elections, returns, and qualifications of their own members, will see to it that every case of violation of the letter or spirit of the fifteenth amendment is thoroughly investigated, and that no benefit from such violation shall accrue to any person or party. It will be the duty of the Executive, with sufficient appropriations for the purpose, to prosecute unsparingly all who have been engaged in depriving citizens of the rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
