Wilson giving his 1st inaugural address
Wilson starts off by acknowledging the change of power in the government from Republicans to Democrats, indicating that people's opinions are changing, but the victory is for the entire country, not just one party. With this change, he said, the way people perceive events is going to shift as citizens will look at many things in a new light. Wilson says that although the US government and it's citizens are one of the greatest in the world, there are repercussions of the great achievements of the time period, including the damage to human lives. He declares that the new clarity of the citizens views will start to cleanse the evil out of the country without impairing the good. Wilson wants to work towards restoration from war and territorial acquisition, and that is a "duty of dedication" to eliminate government corruption and restore justice.
