SirLoin,
Being a life-long resident of the state of Arkansas I can say without fear of contradiction that Governor Orval Faubus was, indeed, a DEMOCRAT! So was Governor George Wallace of Alabama!
The biggest impediment to the passage of Civil Rights legislation by Congress during the 1950s and 1960s was the voting blok of Southern "Boll Weevil" DEMOCRATS!
By the way, did you know that during his last term as governor of Arkansas Bill Clinton employed former governor Orval Faubus in his administration?
By the way, Ike, the president who sent the 101st Airborne to Little Rock to enforce segregation was a REPUBLICAN!
Most of the Jim Crow laws passed in the Southern States in the early 1900s were enacted by DEMOCRATIC administrations.
