What was the overall purpose of john f. kennedy’s inaugural speech?
to warn russia that the us will go to war if they continue to show aggression
to tell the people of south america that the us will support their right to democracy
to inform the nation and the world that the us is ready for war if necessary
to address the nation upon being sworn in as president of the united states

It could be argued that the overall purpose of John F. Kennedy’s inaugural speech was "to inform the nation and the world that the US is ready for war if necessary," since Kennedy wanted to project an image of power and confidence. 

Hey the answer is the politics of the southern united states generally refers to the political landscape of the southern united states. due to the region's unique cultural and historical heritage, including slavery, the south has been involved in many political issues. some of these issues include states' rights, reconstruction, the civil rights movement and social conservatism. from the 1870s to the 1960s, the region was referred to as the solid south, due to their consistent support for democrats in all elective offices. as a result, its congressmen gained seniority across many terms, thus enabling them to control many congressional committees. in presidential politics, the south began to move away from national democratic loyalties with the dixiecrat movement of 1948 and the barry goldwater presidential campaign of 1964. among white southerners, democratic loyalties first fell away at the presidential level, followed much later at the state and local levels.
