Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephen’s influential “Cornerstone Speech” declared that the cornerstone of the Confederacy rests _________________.
“upon the power and terrifying might of the Confederate Army”
“upon the bedrock of Constitutional liberty”
“upon the divine will of a loving and all-powerful god, who promises deliverance and strength to all his faithful children”
“upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery… is his natural and normal condition”
