Confederate vice president Alexander Stephen's influential ""cornerstone speech"" declared that the cornerstone of the confederacy rests upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man.

Stephens stated in what has come to be known as the "Cornerstone Speech" that "our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas [as those of slavery foes]; 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" to a crowd in Savannah, Georgia in 1861. This new government of ours is the first in human history to be founded on such a profound physical, intellectual, and ethical truth.
