Several years ago I came across a fascinating quote:

“We must either submit to the unlawful dictates of the Federal government or stand up like men and tell them ‘Never’."

Can you guess which secessionist politician said it? These words were uttered by the Mississippi's Governor Ross Barnett...in 1962.

Anyone have other quotes by Southern Civil Rights Era politicians that sound like they're from a century earlier than they actually are?
