1856. One violent strike in the Senate chamber pushed a divided nation closer to war. Link in bioAñadido:
May the 22nd, 1856, the United States Senate was winding down for the day. Most members had already gone home. A Massachusetts Senator named Charles Sumner was still at his desk. Two days earlier, he had delivered a speech on the Senate floor called the crime against Kansas.
In Charleston, South Carolina, what Sumner had said on that floor was not received as political disagreement. It was received as an insult that required a physical answer. In one of the gallery seats above the chamber floor, a man from Charleston sat with his hands on the railing and did not move for a very long time.
