| Woodrow Wilson |
In his First Inaugural Address, President Woodrow Wilson stated his desire for America to be the most charismatic nation, saying America needs "to cleanse, to reconsider, to restore, to correct the evil without impairing the good." He said that America has been heartless in in it's rush to become the greatest nation, and the people have only been worrying about their own well-being. With it's riches, America has become more wasteful and careless, and the government has been selfish as well, forgetting the people it is supposed to serve. But still, life is great for Americans as they have an abundance of wealth and diversity that was built up by the people themselves. He called his election a day of dedication to be good Americans.

| Thomas Jefferson |
Wilson's address is similar to Jefferson's First Inaugural Address since both stress that their victory was about more than a victory for their party. Wilson stresses how his presidency will be about all people and having good character and being unified as Americans, just like Jefferson advocated for unity when he said "We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists."
