Senator Charles Sumner's vehement stand against slavery resulted in Congressman Preston S. Brooks of South Carolina violently beating him on the head with a cane while he was seated at his desk on the floor of the U.S. Senate. Charles Sumner died MARCH 11, 1874, having never fully recovered from those injuries. More accurately, it was Sumner's personal insults to Brooks' uncle, the elderly and feeble Senator from SC, in a Senate speech attacking slavery and its defenders that precipitated the attack.
I have no respect for Brooks, who admitted he intentionally attacked Sumner while he was seated in a bolted down desk and chair so he couldn't effectively defend himself.
But it's misleading to imply that it was Sumner's stand against slavery, as such, that led to the assault.

Oh? Even more interesting information!
Thanks for adding that also!
I don’t know the facts - but maybe you need to find the “Faith in History” or William Federer website and pass this information along to him?
Thanks again!
