Hi. In your question, you don't show which speeches should be compared, this makes it impossible for your question to be answered. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question exactly like yours that featured the speeches "Gettysburg Address" written and recited by Lincoln and "Martin Luther King Day Legacy" written and recited by John Lewis. In that case, I hope the answer below can help you.

A common point between the two speeches is the fact that they both want to talk about topics well known to Americans, which reinforces the fact that the speeches point to relevant and important things that should not be forgotten anywhere in the country.

While the speeches are intended to speak directly to the American audience, the target audience for each speech is different. Lincoln's speech is aimed at the supporters of the northern states, the shapers of the union. The purpose of this speech was to show people that the union would do anything to honor the soldiers killed during the American Civil War and not let their sacrifice go in vain.

With this, Lincoln encourages people to fight for Northern goals and not let them get discouraged in supporting and saving national unity.

Lewis' speech had a wider audience, as he wanted to reach every American willing to listen. He aimed to honor the memory of Martin Luther King and reinforce the argument that he was a great example to be followed and that although he died his fight is not over and it is up to the Americans to follow his example and continue fighting for equality.
