Charles Sumner
In the Senate, after the end of the session of March 19,1856, by the the honourable Preston Brooks, as retaliation to the violent speech addressed by Sumner against Brooks uncle, the old South Carolina's Senator Andrew Butler. Indeed the verbal attack was aimed to censor the whole South, because of their politics about Kansas, of which Butler had only been chosen as a random target.

On May 22, 1856, Congressman Preston Brooks severely beat Senator Charles Sumner in the senate chambers. In May 1856, Charles Sumner of Massachusetts rose to give a speech entitled "The Crime Against Kansas." In it, he gave particular attention to Senator Andrew P. Butler of South Carolina, an outspoken defender of slavery. The South Carolinian was, Sumner claimed, the "Don Quixote" of slavery, having "chosen a mistress .... who, though ugly to others, is always lovely to him, though polluted in the sight of the world, is chaste in his sight ... the harlot slavery." The pointedly sexual references and the general viciousness of the speech enraged Butler's nephew, Preston Brooks, a member of the House of Representatives from South Carolina. Several days after the speech, Brooks approached Sumner at his desk in the Senate chamber during a recess, raised a heavy cane, and began beating him repeatedly on the head and shoulders. Sumner, trapped in his chair, rose in agony with such strength that he tore the desk from the bolts holding it to the floor. Then he collapsed, bleeding and unconscious. So severe were his injuries that he was unable to return to the Senate for four years. Throughout the North, he became a hero -- a martyr to the barbarism of the South. In the South, Preston Brooks became a hero, too. Censured by the House, he resigned his seat, returned to South Carolina, and stood successfully for reelection. information from The Unfinished Nation: A Concise History of the American People, 6th Edition by Alan Brinkley
