Farewell Address to the Nation | Ronald Reagan (reaganlibrary.gov)

On this day in 1989, after eight years as president of the United
States,
Ronald Reagan gave his farewell address to the American
people. In his speech, President Reagan spoke with particular enthusiasm about the foreign policy achievements of his
administration.

In his speech, Reagan declared that America “rediscovered” its commitment to world freedom in the 1980s. The United States
was “respected again in the world and looked to for leadership.”

The key, according to the president, was a return to “common
sense” that “told us that to preserve the peace, we’d have to
become strong again after years of weakness.”

The achievements of his administration gained him much favor
with the American public, and Ronald Reagan left office as one
of the most popular modern U.S. presidents.

LINCOLN GAVE A FAMOUS SPEECH IN 1863

Gettysburg Address - The Poetry of Lincoln

On November 19, 1863, at the dedication of a military cemetery
at Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania, during the American Civil War,
President
Abraham Lincoln delivered one of the most memorable speeches in American history. In fewer than 275 words, Lincoln
brilliantly and movingly reminded a war-weary public why the
Union had to fight, and win, the Civil War.

The Battle of Gettysburg, fought some four months earlier, was
one of the single bloodiest battle of the Civil War. Over the course
of three days, more than 45,000 men were killed, injured, captured
or went missing. The battle also proved to be the turning point of
the war: General Robert E. Lee’s defeat and retreat from Gettysburg marked the last Confederate invasion of Northern territory and the beginning of the Southern army’s ultimate decline.
