    Caning of Charles Sumnner

    • 1325 Words
    • 6 Pages

    On May 22, 1856 the Senate was so empty that the most insignificant sound would have echoed across the whole chamber. Charles Sumner, a Massachusetts’s senator, sat at his senatorial desk by the window after a chamber meeting to write letter and read various documents. Suddenly, the light was blocked out by South Carolina senator, Preston Brooks. Brooks who entered the chamber “well protected by friends at hand” walked up to Sumner holding a Guttarpecha walking cane. As he viciously held his walking cane senator Brooks said, “Mr. Sumner, I have read your speech twice over carefully. It is a libel on South Carolina and Mr. Butler, who is a relative of mine.” 12 The inspiration for this clash came when Charles Sumner, an antislavery Republican, addressed the senate on the explosive issue of whether Kansas should be admitted to the Union as a free state or a slave state. Charles Sumner was an outspoken individual in American history; he devoted an immense amount of energy towards…

    Andrew Jackson DBQ

    • 850 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Andrew Jackson (despite allegations to the contrary by South Carolina and Tennessee) was born in North Carolina and grew up a son of the frontier. The hero of the Battle of New Orleans and a proven hothead (he blatantly disobeyed orders and hanged a few of the enemy in the Seminole War), Jackson was also not what one would call an intellectual. It was the emotionalizing of campaign issues that got him elected in 1828 over a superior statesman, President John Q. Adams. Through an over-emotionalized revivalist campaign style, Jackson's camp brought the common man out of the backwoods and into the voting booth. (Records show that voter participation rose dramatically through the Jackson era). By exploiting the class difference between the urban Eastern industrialists and the South and Western agrarian, Jackson's aides turned "Old Hickory" into a symbol for the fight against the upper class and intellectualism. From this point on, it mattered little what Jackson did as President, as long as it was perceived as the will of the common man.…
