Charles Sumner bad mouthed Butler during a speech and then got beaten retarded by Butlers nephew Preston Brooks
IMPROVED ANSWER:
Because of the violence in Kansas over the issue of slavery, it eventually reached the nation's capital.
Violence in urban Washington, DC, matched the violence in frontier Kansas.
When Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts denounced "the crime against Kansas" in a widely publicized speech, a member of Congress from South Carolina, Preston Brooks, attacked him on the Senate floor and beat him senseless with a cane.
Sumner was hospitalized and his seat remained empty for two years, a mute reminder of the scene.
