註釋William McKinley's 'Third State of the Union Address,' delivered in 1899, serves as a poignant reflection on America's foreign policy during a pivotal era in the nation's development. The address is meticulously composed, blending diplomatic discourse with McKinley's own expansive vision for the United States on the global stage during the waning years of the 19th century. It embodies the zeitgeist of American imperialism and the country's emerging role as an international power, particularly in the context of its aftermath of the Spanish-American War. Literary scholars frequently excavate this address to understand the rhetorical strategies employed by leaders to shape public opinion and policy, placing it within the broader canon of presidential literature and statecraft. William McKinley, the 25th President of the United States, ascended to the nation's highest office at a time of significant transformation. His leadership is marked by economic prosperity and a vigorous expansion of the U.S. influence abroad. This address encapsulates McKinley's nuanced understanding of American exceptionalism and his dedication to a foreign policy that promoted interventionism and a departure from the isolationism that had previously characterized U.S. diplomatic relations. The undertones within the speech indicate a leader contending with the responsibilities of a burgeoning empire and the negotiation of its role on the global stage. The 'Third State of the Union Address' remains a critical document for students of American history, political science, and rhetoric. It is recommended for readers seeking insight into the ideological underpinnings of American foreign policy at the turn of the 20th century. By engaging with McKinley's address, contemporary readers can gain a deeper appreciation of the complexities inherent in the expansion of American power and the foundational attitudes that shaped the country's approach to international relations for subsequent generations.
