Like, Guy almost bled out in the main building.
They were snipers set up on the Confederate statue on campus shooting at the U.S.
Marshals.
And finally, they brought in the military police and the 82nd and 101st Airborne, who literally fixed bayonets, who cleared the campus.
And James Meredith was enrolled.
And it's interesting because that's the only undefeated season in Ole Miss football history.
And these things happen simultaneously.
And-
You know, you go on that campus now and like your people died.
So when you talk about ghost of Mississippi and ghost of Ole Miss, I mean, they're everywhere.
The Confederacy is still there now and Meredith, too.
You know, I mean, look, I don't want to be one of those people who says like one of the great myths is that it was all outside agitators.
And that's, you know, obviously not true.
But a lot of those people are still alive.
I mean, this is an odd thing to say, especially on a political podcast, but I just sort of think that politics self-select for the worst of us.
Yeah.
And like not the best of us, the absolute worst of us, our side, their side, your side, my side, they all suck.
Like Ross Barnett didn't have any principles.
He was kind of like a civil rights pioneer lawyer until he lost an election and decided he was never going to lose an election again.
If you want a great political deep dive, just go on newspapers.com and read Barnett.
