22 Mai 1856 Jahr - Bleeding Sumner
Beschreibung:
Bleeding Sumner was when congressmen Preston Brooks attacked US Senator Charles Sumner inside the US Capitol Building, leaving him injured for over 3 years. This was due to a intense debate about slavery within congress. This was significant because it was an unexpected attack which had a large impact on congress. This heightened sectionalism because it was seen as a violent action by the northerners.
