Explanation

The two excerpts from Governor George Wallace's inaugural address include quotes from Thomas Jefferson and Rudyard Kipling. According to the above, it can be established that Wallace used these quotes to give credibility to his speech because he uses the words of one of the fathers of the Independence of the United States to talk about freedom and later uses the words of Rudyard Kipling to enhance the attitude of the audience by referring to them as "the greatest fighting breed of man ... in all the world !.
