Edward Everett si distinse come uno dei grandi oratori americani dei periodi antebellico e della Guerra Civile. Oggi viene ricordato per il suo discorso principale alla cerimonia di dedicazione del Cimitero Nazionale di Gettysburg nel 1863, un'orazione di oltre due ore pronunciata immediatamente prima dell'iconico discorso del Presidente Abraham Lincoln. La maestria retorica di Everett e la sua profonda capacità di coinvolgere il pubblico lo resero una voce significativa del suo tempo, riflettendo le correnti intellettuali dell'epoca. I suoi contributi al discorso pubblico furono notevoli, dimostrando una padronanza della lingua e una profonda comprensione delle questioni che plasmavano la nazione.
