On January 6, 1941 President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered his eighth State of the Union address, now known as the Four Freedoms speech. The speech was intended to rally the American people against the Axis threat and to shift favor in support of assisting British and Allied troops. Roosevelt's words came at a time of extreme American isolationism; since World War I, many Americans sought to distance themselves from foreign entanglements, including foreign wars. Policies to curb immigration quotas and increase tariffs on imported goods were implemented, and a series of Neutrality Acts passed in the 1930s limited American arms and munitions assistance abroad.
In his address, Roosevelt called for the immediate increase in American arms production, and asked Americans to support his "Lend-Lease" program, which gave Allies cash-free access to US munitions. Most importantly, Roosevelt announced his vision for the world, "a world attainable in our own time and generation," and founded upon four essential human freedoms: freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.
These freedoms, Roosevelt declared, must triumph everywhere in the world, and act as a basis of a new moral order. "Freedom," Roosevelt declared, "means the supremacy of human rights everywhere."

The Union and Confederates
The Renaissance era in Western Europe was a period noted for artistry.
During that time art was growing, that was also the time period that Da Vinci was in.
I hope this helped a bit! Good luck!
Bill Clinton was the first President from the Democratic party in more than a decade and the first President to take office since the Collapse of the Soviet Union.
In this first speech, he mentioned how the cold-war had ended and that Americans can look forward to a bright future.
However, he also mentioned how the government still has a lot of work to do, not just internationally but domestically.
His overall message was of hope and promise. He was the first President of the Sole Super Power of the World and he believed America was in the perfect position to take up global leadership.
