Well done. All information, no posturing. -- Wetman 21:01, 12 February 2005 (UTC)
This title should be Southern Manifesto not The Southern Manifesto, as repeadtedly is errors are made when linking to this page. The Voting Rights Act and The Civil Rights Act of 1964 are similiarly not titled as such — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nobs ( talk • contribs) 18:51, 30 March 2005 (UTC)
Here is an interesting fact: Lyndan Johnson, who was at that time the senate majority leader, was never asked to sign, nor did he receive the document. Legislators felt his devotion to Civil Rights would stand in their way. Minche, 2006 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minche ( talk • contribs) 03:06, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
It looks like we have the signatories and non-signatories in Tennessee reversed since the Badger article discusses Bass and Evins as signatories. I'll try to find another source to confirm that part of the list. JoshuaZ 15:46, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
The "Signatories and Non-Signatories" section is completely confusing. I was left with very little idea who signed. Can someone impose clear order on the lists? And maybe some whitespace? The paragraph also mentions "below," but presumably means not immediately below but distantly below. HTH. — Christian Campbell 00:55, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
The article states it was signed by "99 politicians," which would lead to 19 Senators and 80 Representatives. However, the article also states 82 Representatives. I count 78 in the list of signers. The text of the document itself says 77 Representatives, and I count 77 signers. Does anyone know what the correct number should be? Arnold Rothstein1921 ( talk) 15:54, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
I suggest making a link at this phrase to /info/en/?search=States%27_rights — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.17.179.75 ( talk) 17:42, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
The article says "Senators led the opposition, with Strom Thurmond writing the initial draft and Richard Russell the final version".
But Senator Thurmond co-wrote the first draft of the Southern Manifesto which is also clear from Thurmond's article. How could he have led the opposition to it? Obviously something is unclear here, or else I am just confused. Help... 73.127.147.187 ( talk) 03:40, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
