Famous quotes containing the words civil, rights and/or watch:

“Both of us felt more anxiety about the South—about the colored people especially—than about anything else sinister in the result.

There the Amendments will be nullified, disorder will continue, prosperity to both whites and colored people will be pushed off for years.”
