- Cornerstone_Speech abstract "The Cornerstone Speech, also known as the Cornerstone Address, was delivered extemporaneously by Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens at the Athenaeum in Savannah, Georgia on March 21, 1861.The speech explained what the fundamental differences were between the constitutions of the of the Confederacy and that of the United States, laid out the Confederate causes for the American Civil War, and defended slavery. The Cornerstone Speech became so known for Stephens' asserting:Our new Government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition.The speech was given weeks after the secession of South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and then Texas and less than three weeks after the inauguration of U.S. President Lincoln. Open hostilities between the two sides had not yet begun at this point.".
