The book ""State Of The Union Addresses"" is a collection of speeches delivered by Franklin Pierce, the 14th President of the United States, to the Congress of the United States. These speeches were given annually during his presidency between 1853 and 1857, and they provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the nation during that period. The speeches cover a range of topics, including foreign affairs, economic policy, and social issues. They offer insight into Pierce's political philosophy and his vision for the country. The book is a valuable resource for historians, political scientists, and anyone interested in the history of the United States.Some European powers have regarded with disquieting concern the territorial expansion of the United States. This rapid growth has resulted from the legitimate exercise of sovereign rights belonging alike to all nations, and by many liberally exercised. Under such circumstances it could hardly have been expected that those among them which have within a comparatively recent period subdued and absorbed ancient kingdoms, planted their standards on every continent, and now possess or claim the control of the islands of every ocean as their appropriate domain would look with unfriendly sentiments upon the acquisitions of this country, in every instance honorably obtained, or would feel themselves justified in imputing our advancement to a spirit of aggression or to a passion for political predominance. Our foreign commerce has reached a magnitude and extent nearly equal to that of the first maritime power of the earth, and exceeding that of any other.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
