22 май 1856 г. - Caning of Charles Sumner
Описание:
During the Bleeding Kansas Crisis, abolitionist Charles Sumner of Massachusetts gave a speech denouncing slavery, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, insults his colleagues who support slavery. In response, Preston Brooks of South Carolina assaulted him with a walking cane, nearly killing him. This is indicative of just how polarized the United States had become, and is symbolic of the civil war to come.Добавлено на ленту времени:
