Wilson's first inaugural address began by addressing the morals of the American people and the need for change in American society. Wilson spoke about the the success of the Industrial Revolution, though acknowledged that despite its success, it also led to many underlying issues that had become present within American society. The corruption engendered by the economic boom had to be stopped. Wilson considered there to be a great need for reform, and promised such reform as pure food laws, sanitation laws, and laws improving the labor conditions. Wilson stressed that the country needs serious change, hoping for true reform to better the nation.
