The punishment of Preston Brooks for his assault on Charles Sumner in 1856 can be viewed as reasonable within the context of the time, reflecting the intense sectional tensions and the culture of honor prevalent in the South. Brooks faced minimal consequences, receiving a brief congressional censure and resigning only to be re-elected, which suggests that many contemporaries condoned his actions. However, from a modern perspective, such violent behavior would be considered unacceptable and deserving of more severe repercussions. Ultimately, the adequacy of his punishment speaks to the differing societal values across eras.
