- The Cornerstone Speech, also known as the Cornerstone Address, was an oration given by Alexander H. Stephens, Vice President of the Confederate States of America, at the Athenaeum in Savannah, Georgia, on March 21, 1861. The speech, delivered extemporaneously a few weeks before the Civil War began with the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter, defended slavery as a fundamental and just result of the supposed inferiority of the black race, explained the fundamental differences between the constitutions of the Confederate States and that of the United States, enumerated contrasts between Union and Confederate ideologies, and laid out the Confederacy's rationale for seceding from the U.S. In particular, he stated that "our new government['s] 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. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth." (en)
- Le discours de la pierre angulaire (en anglais : Cornerstone Speech) est le discours prononcé par vice-président confédéré Alexander Stephens le 21 mars 1861 à Savannah, en Géorgie. Ce discours fut prononcé aux premières heures de la guerre de Sécession. Il est notamment célèbre pour le fait qu'il présente l'esclavage comme étant la cause du conflit ainsi que comme étant la base du nouvel état. (fr)
- 基石演讲，也称为基石演说、柱石演说，是美利坚联盟国副总统于1861年3月21日在佐治亚州萨凡纳的发表的一场即兴演讲。 演讲结束几周后，南北战争爆发。斯蒂芬斯在演讲中主张奴隶制是由于黑人种族低劣性而导致的公正结果，解释了与美国宪法的根本性不同，列举了联邦和联盟之间思想意识形态的差异，论证了联盟国从美国脱离的理由。 他特别指出，“我们新政府的基础，即其基石，就是建立在黑人与白人不平等这个伟大真理之上；奴隶制中对于优越种族的服从是其自然和正常的状态。我们的新政府是世界历史上第一个基于这一伟大的物质、哲学和道德真理的政府。” (zh)
