While confined here in the Birmingham city jail, I came across your recent statement calling our present activities "unwise and untimely." Seldom, if ever, do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all of the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would be engaged in little else in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will and your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I would like to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms.
I think I should give the reason for my being in Birmingham, since you have been influenced by the argument of "outsiders coming in"

The similarity between these two texts is that both highlight the admiration for someone who is already dead. The difference is that "The Gettysburg Address" admires soldiers who died in the war, while "O Captain, My Captain" refers to admiration for the ship's captain, who represents Lincoln.
Explanation:
Both texts present an emotional language, where they admire and emphasize the importance of people who died in favor of a cause.
In "The Gettysburg Address" we can see a prose text, where the dead in the civil war are highlighted as heroes and important in this very inhospitable and dangerous environment. In "The Captain, My Captain" the language is even more emotional and shows the admiration of a captain who died while trying to guide his vessel on a dangerous voyage.
