Historical Speeches of Famous American Leaders - Weaving the Social Fabric CD Audio CDs: Songs

Ironically, issues that confronted nations a century ago, remain largely unchanged. Perhaps the only tangible difference would be in the magnitude and scope of the problem. The United States is no different in this regard. This fabulous CD contains speeches that were heard in the US Senate nearly a century ago, and yet appear to be fairly contemporary, save for their undeniably vintage quality.

Forceful, articulate and convincing, these discourses speak of deep convictions statesmen harbored on issues that would eventually decide the fate of the country. The clarion call for modifying legislature that governed laws on labor and liberty rings loud and clear in most addresses. Calls for voting in a Republican government and for generous donations towards the war-effort hold your attention just as compellingly as they did decades ago. The social fabric of the country seemed to have been damaged by the War and needed mending before it was ripped beyond repair.

Strangely, you cannot stop wondering how relevant these social issues are to us even today, despite the passage of time. America continues to defend democracy on distant shores while the Senate Hall continues to reverberate with Republican and Democratic outcries.

This CD is a time machine that takes you about nine decades back in time and helps you understand how the United States overcame challenges to emerge as a role model. Had it not been for the efforts of A2ZCDS, these historic speeches may have continued to adorn the shelves of some obscure archives. Now you have them on easily accessible CDs.

History buffs, here is your chance to catch up with issues that made the headlines at the beginning of the 20th century.
