may 22, 1856 - Bleeding Sumner

Description:

Charles Sumner was a Massachusetts senator and abolitionist who opposed the extension of slavery and spoke out against slavery in Kansas. He was caned by the South Carolina congressman Preston Brooks on the Senate floor in 1856. This increased sectionalism by painting the South as senselessly vicious.
