...when a law transgresses the moral and ethical sanctions and standards of the mores ( customs), invariably strife, bloodshed and revolution follow in the wake of its attempted enforcement. The loveliest and purest of God's creatures, the dearest thing to an angelic being that reads this terrestrial ball is a well-bred, cultural southern white woman or her blue-eyed, golden-haired little girl... We say to the Supreme Court and to the northern world, 'You shall not make us drink from this cup'... We have, through our forefathers, died before for our sacred principles. We, can if necessary, die again. ( Tom Brady, a judge in the southern state of Mississippi, wrote this in his book //Black Monday//.)

I have today issued an Executive Order directing the use of troops under Federal authority to aid in the execution of federal law at Little Rock, Arkansas...The very basis of our individual rights and freedoms rests upon the certainity that the President and the Executive Branch of Government will support and insure the carrying out of the decisions of the federal courts, even, when necessary with the means of the President's command... Mob rule cannot be allowed to override the decisions of our courts... The overwhelming majority of our people in every section of the country are united in their respect for observance of the law-even in those cases where they may disagree with that law.. It would be difficult to exaggerate the harm that is being done to prestige and influence, and indeed to the safety of our nation and the world. ‍‍
