In this powerful image, we see President Jackson standing before a crowd as he delivers his final words to the nation. His message resonates with pride for America's progress and prosperity: "Our country has improved and is flourishing beyond any former example in the history of nations" he writes. Similar to George Washington's farewell address, Jackson warns against sectionalism and emphasizes the importance of preserving unity: "At every hazard and by every sacrifice, this Union must be preserved. . . What have you to gain by division and dissension?". The lithograph also highlights key themes discussed by Jackson during his address.
