*What will be the result to the institution of [[Slavery in the United States|slavery]], which will follow submission to the inauguration and administration of [[Abraham Lincoln|Mister Lincoln]] as the [[President of the United States|President]] of one section of the [[Union (United States)|Union]]? My candid opinion is, that it will be the total [[Abolitionism|abolition of slavery]]... I do not doubt, therefore, that submission to the administration of Mister Lincoln will result in the final abolition of slavery. If we fail to resist now, we will never again have the strength to resist.

* If now you young people, instead of running away from the battle here in Carolina, [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], [[Alabama]], [[Louisiana]] and [[Mississippi]], instead of seeking freedom and opportunity in [[Chicago]] and [[New York City|New York]]—which do spell opportunity—nevertheless grit your teeth and make up your minds to fight it out right here if it takes every day of your lives and the lives of your children’s children; if you do this, you must in meetings like this ask yourselves what does the fight mean? How can it be carried on? What are the best tools, arms, and methods? And where does it lead? I should be the last to insist that the uplift of mankind never calls for force and death. There are times, as both you and I know, when "Tho’ love repine and reason chafe, There came a voice without reply, ‘Tis man’s perdition to be safe, When for truth he ought to die."
** [[W. E. B. Du Bois]], "[https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/1946-w-e-b-dubois-behold-land/ Behold the Land]" 20 October 1946

* “Behold the beautiful land which the Lord thy God hath given thee.” Behold the land, the rich and resourceful land, from which for a hundred years its best elements have been running away, its youth and hope, black and white, scurrying North because they are afraid of each other, and dare not face a future of equal, independent, upstanding human beings, in a real and not a sham democracy. To rescue this land, in this way, calls for the Great Sacrifice. This is the thing that you are called upon to do because it is the right thing to do. Because you are embarked upon a great and holy crusade, the emancipation of mankind, [[Black people|black]] and [[White people|white]]; the [[Democratization|upbuilding of democracy]]; the breaking down, particularly here in the South, of forces of [[evil]] represented by [[Racism|race prejudice]] in [[South Carolina]]; by [[lynching]] in Georgia; by disfranchisement in Mississippi; by [[ignorance]] in Louisiana and by all these and [[monopoly]] of [[wealth]] in the whole South. There could be no more splendid vocation beckoning to the youth of the [[20th century|twentieth century]], after the flat failures of white civilization, after the flamboyant establishment of an industrial system which creates poverty and the children of poverty which are ignorance and [[disease]] and [[crime]]; after the crazy boasting of a white culture that finally ended in wars which ruined civilization in the whole world; in the midst of allied peoples who have yelled about democracy and never practiced it either in the [[British Empire]] or in the American Commonwealth or in South Carolina.

One of the states he lost was [[Georgia]]. Trump and the other Defendants charged in this Indictment refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and willfully joined a [[conspiracy]] to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump.

It is admitted to be an anti-slavery party, while it attracts to itself by its creed, the scattered advocates of exploded political heresies, of condemned theories in [[political economy]], the advocates of commercial restrictions, of [[protection]], of special privileges, of waste and [[corruption]] in the administration of Government; anti-slavery is its mission and its purpose.

*The presidential election of 1864, occurring after the spectacular Union military successes at Mobile Bay and in Georgia and the Shenandoah Valley, reaffirmed the northern majority's commitment to the suppression of the [[American Civil War|rebellion in the South]] and the restoration of the Union without slavery. Arguably, [[Abraham Lincoln]]'s victory owed more to the Northern rejection of the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]]'s [[Anti-war movement|war-failure platform]] and its call for an armistice preparatory to a national peace convention than to the voters' confidence in the president's leadership.

*The three States of Georgia, [[Florida]] and South Carolina, comprising the [[United States Armed Forces|military]] department of the south, having deliberately declared themselves no longer under the protection of the United States of America, and having taken up arms against the said United States, it becomes a military necessity to declare them under [[w:Martial_law_in_the_United_States|martial law]]. This was accordingly done on the 25th day of April, 1862. Slavery and martial law in a free country are altogether incompatible; the persons in these three States — Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina— heretofore held as slaves, are therefore declared forever free.

* I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow [[Prison|jail]] cells. And some of you have come from areas where your quest -- quest for [[freedom]] left you battered by the storms of [[persecution]] and staggered by the winds of [[wikipedia:Police_brutality_in_the_United_States|police brutality]]. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to [[wikipedia:Louisiana|Louisiana]], go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of [[despair]], I say to you today, my friends. And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the [[American Dream|American dream]]. '''I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former [[Slavery in the United States|slaves]] and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of [[brotherhood]]. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of [[freedom]] and [[justice]]. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a ''dream'' today! I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious [[Racism in the United States|racists]], with [[George Wallace|its governor]] having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little [[Black people|black boys and black girls]] will be able to join hands with little [[White people|white boys and white girls]] as [[Siblings|sisters and brothers]]. I have a ''dream'' today! I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."''' This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the [[Southern United States|South]] with.

* In 1956, as a reaction to the requirement to integrate, the [[w:Georgia_Assembly|Georgia Assembly]] changed the state flag to incorporate the [[w:Confederate_battle_flag|Confederate Battle Flag]]. As [[w:Denmark_Groover|Denmark Groover]], the legislator who guided the bill to passage, said at the time, "The Confederate symbol was added mostly out of defiance to federal integration orders." While I lived in Georgia, the [[White supremacy|white supremacist]] Confederate Battle Flag dominated the state flag. In 2003, Georgia changed its flag, losing the Confederate Battle Flag and returning to a version of the flag first introduced in 1879. The current flag is an homage to the first Confederate national flag, the Stars and Bars. White southerners continue to focus on a four-year period when they fought a rebellion to create a slave republic and lost badly.

* While [[Lynching|lynch mobs]] in Virginia murdered 84 people according to exhaustive reporting done by the Equal Justice Initiative, my adopted home state of Georgia was far more violent. Georgia lynch mobs murdered 589 people between 1877 and 1950. Most of the attacks in Northern Virginia and Walton County came after accusations of [[Black people|Black]] [[Man|men]] [[Rape|raping]] [[White people|white]] [[women]]. Several lynchings occurred because [[African American]] men did not act in a docile manner, upsetting the racial conventions demanded by white society.

* The sustained legal campaign of subjugation, called [[Jim Crow laws|Jim Crow]], plus targeted [[Law enforcement in the United States|law enforcement]], lack of [[Education in the United States|education]] resources, and limited [[Equal opportunity|economic opportunity]], resulted in "the [[w:Great_Migration|Great Migration]]." Starting in the first decade of the [[20th century|twentieth century]], more than a million African Americans left the [[w:Racial_violence|racial violence]] and poverty of the South for the industrial cities of the North and West. In 1900, Georgia's Black population was over 47 percent of the total. By 1970, the figure had dropped to just over 25 percent. In the 1910 census, Walton County recorded 25,393 people. The next time it would reach that level was in the 1980 census, the year I graduated from high school. By then, Walton County benefited from its proximity to a booming Atlanta. The racial terror and Jim Crow laws decreased Georgia's population and retarded its economic potential for generations. Racism isn't just morally wrong; it's economically stupid.
