States of the Union uses State of the Union addresses and other presidential addresses to tell the story of the political history of the United States from Washington’s inauguration in 1789 through 2023. The addresses provide a remarkable record of how the country saw itself, what problems required solutions–both at home and in the larger world–what solutions presidents proposed, and what was actually accomplished. Meanwhile, election results register the verdicts of the American people. Washington, Jackson, Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, and Reagan emerge as our most influential presidents. These presidential addresses, it turns out, tell the amazing story of the great American political experiment that began more than two centuries ago, and faces one of its greatest tests today.
