>> You should avoid the south bashers here ...
It wasn’t really a North/South thing I was addressing so much as “If you piss enough people off, sooner or later one of them is gonna react”.
There were no winners in that a$$ whuppin’. Preston Brooks was censured, resigned, then promptly reelected. He died at age 37. The “whupee” - Sumner - was badly injured. He recovered, and remained in the senate for some 18 years.
Like I say, no winners.
