The phrase is a bit older, goes back to King Leonidas stand at the Thermophilae. His answer to a diplomatic surrender, becoming a vassal of persia, supposedly was “Molon labe.” - Come and take it.
The yankee slaveowners saw themselves as greek, boy fucking, slaveowners.
Minor correction. The story goes that the Persian king, Xerxes, asked the Spartans to surrender their arms. Leonidas tells Xerxes to “come and take them”.
