Famous quotes containing the words north and/or south:
“I’m trusting in the Lord and a good lawyer.”
—Oliver North (b. 1943)
“The developments in the North were those loosely embraced in the term modernization and included urbanization, industrialization, and mechanization. While those changes went forward apace, the antebellum South changed comparatively little, clinging to its rural, agricultural, labor-intensive economy and its traditional folk culture.”
—C. Vann Woodward (b. 1908)
