  • Edward Everett (April 11, 1794 – January 15, 1865) was an American politician, pastor, educator, diplomat, and orator from Massachusetts. Everett, a Whig, served as U.S. Representative, U.S. Senator, the 15th Governor of Massachusetts, Minister to Great Britain, and U.S. Secretary of State. He also taught at Harvard University and served as its president. Everett was one of the great American orators of the antebellum and Civil War eras. He is often remembered today as the featured orator at the dedication ceremony of the Gettysburg National Cemetery in 1863, where he spoke for over two hours, immediately before President Abraham Lincoln delivered his famous, two-minute Gettysburg Address. Prior to the war, he had ran for Vice President on the Constitutional Union Party with John Bell in 1860. The ticket carried fourth place in the popular votes with 590,901 popular votes while carrying third in the electoral college, carrying 39 electoral votes from Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia.
