He had recently given a speech called “The Crime Against Kansas” on abolishing slavery in the United States. The speech described atrocities occurring in Kansas at the time. There pro-slavery border ruans from Missouri crossed into Kansas and attacked anti-slavery settlers. Senator Sumner specically mentioned Senator Andrew Butler, of South Carolina in the speech because of his involvement with the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Butler’s nephew, Congressman Preston Brooks, who had taken the speech particularly personally, entered the Senate Chamber. He proceeded to attack Senator Sumner with a walking stick. Brooks, who was accompanied at the time by Congressman Laurence Keitt of South Carolina and Congressman Henry Edmundson of Virginia, assaulted Sumner “with a considerable amount of violence." Sumner was struck with “numerous blows on and about the head with a walking stick which cut his head." Brooks hit Sumner so hard with the cane that part of the cane shattered. When other senators attempted to intervene and assist Senator Sumner, they were blocked by Congressman Keitt, who was wielding a pistol and shouting. The attack was brutal, and Senator Sumner did not make another public appearance after the attack until November 5, 1856. Sumner did not return to the Senate for three years, but was repeatedly reelected by the Massachusetts General Court. Despite the extreme violence involved / in the attack, an investigation by the United States Congress determined that Brooks did not intend to kill Sumner, but simply aimed to “punish him." The 1856 attack shed light on the amount of passion in the debate about slavery n the United States during the 1850s. It was common for physical altercations to occur on the frontier in the Kansas area between anti-slavery and pro-slavery settlers, but a physical exchange in the Senate Chamber did not happen often. The fact that such a violent attack was not regarded as much more than retribution for something said in a speech by Senator Sumner exemplied how the conict between pro-slavery and anti-slavery partisans was increasingly escalating into violence during the 1850s. Northerners and Southerners obviously reacted to the incident dierently. Many Southerners viewed Brooks’s ations as manly and honorable because he was standing up not just for his family, but also his state, section, and slavery. However, in the North physicality and violence were increasingly at odds with ideals of manhood among the middle classes, and many northerners to viewed the caning of Sumner by Brooks as a barbaric assault, not just on Sumner himself, but on the fabric of American democracy. Speeches given at the time were taken personally, especially when the speeches invoked the names of relatives. This beating demonstrated the passion sparked by the debate over slavery, which eventually contributed to the start of the Civil Wa r.

The Birmingham-Southern community has directly learned the startling impact that leadership can have on our lives. Now, perhaps more than ever before, there exists the opportunity and need for us to discover and critique the boundaries of leadership through learning, challenging, and re-imagining possibilities. As Keith Grint writes in Leadership: Limits and Possibilities, “Leadership is not just a theoretical arena but one with critical practical implications for us all and the limits of leadership—what leaders can do and what followers should allow them to do – are foundational aspects of this arena. Leadership, in effect, is too important to be left to leaders.” It is this axiom that guides the study of leadership and reminds us of the calling that we, as both leaders and followers, must answer in order to continue progress “forward ever.” Like a compass that points us to a destination, the Compass seeks to foster an academic discussion on the concepts of leadership and service. By showing the evolution of followers’ attitudes towards the infamous John Brown, Walter Lewellyn provides a case study on radical leadership in “Waiting for Superman: The Pottawatomie Creek Massacre and the Legend of John Brown.” MK Foster, in “Virgins and Pokerfaces: A Comparative Analysis of Madonna’s and Lady Gaga’s Leadership in Gender Representation,” analyzes how two popular cultural icons have redefi ned the limits of gender representation through their creative and transformational leadership.

Brooks rained blows on Sumner's head and shoulders with his cane while Representative Laurence M. Keitt, a secessionist colleague from South Carolina, kept others at bay. Brooks later described the caning in a letter to his brother, "I struck him with my cane and gave him about 30 first rate stripes with a gutta perch cane.... Every lick went where I intended. For about the first five of six licks he offered to make fight but I plied him so rapidly that he did not touch me.

  • Southern Honor and the Brooks-Sumner Affair Dallas Hanbury (Dr
    Southern Honor and the Brooks-Sumner Affair Dallas Hanbury (Dr. Ruth Truss) History, University of Montevallo In May 1856, a young Representative from South Carolina walked into the Senate chamber in search of Massachusetts Senator Charles Sumner. Finding Sumner seated at his desk, Preston Brooks beat the senator unconscious. This Brooks-Sumner Affair was one of many incidents associated with “Bleeding Kansas,” often viewed by historians as one of the crucial stepping stones of the 1850s toward secession. In studying the coming of secession and Civil War, political events provide a key element to understanding the division that arose between sections of the United States. From the Compromise of 1850, to the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854, to the 1857 Dred Scott decision, and finally to the 1859 raid on Harper’s Ferry by John Brown, events propelled the pace of the developing chasm in politics as well as other areas of life. The Kansas-Nebraska Act and the associated acts of violence were especially important in drawing the lines that would eventually result in the fracturing of American life. This incident known as the Brooks -- Sumner Affair, can be viewed in light of the culture of the American South by the mid -- 1850s. This culture was one that was both unique and complex, emphasizing independence, an economy based on agriculture, and society that valued personal honor. Thus, to Southerners, Preston Brooks’s response to Charles Sumner’s speech was warranted and understood. Historian James McPherson argues that by the mid-1850s it was not the South that was unique, but rather the North.

    The Crisis of Union 1848–1877 hy It Matters The growing sectional crisis in the 1800s led to W the Civil War, the most wrenching war in American history. The peace that was forged after four years of internal conflict reunited the nation and ended slavery. It did not, however, end the problems of racial inequality. Understanding the war and the Reconstruction period that followed will help you understand the challenges of a multicultural society that our nation still faces today.

Would new states be slave or free? Who would decide? States that allowed slavery were determined to prevent free states from gaining a majority in the Senate. Political compromise broke down by 1860, and when Lincoln was elected president, many Southern states decided to secede. The Impact Today The political and social debates of this period continue to have influence. • Older sectional loyalties still define some regions of the country. • The modern Republican Party grew in part from opposition to slavery.

  • Review of Williamjames Hull Hoffer, the Caning of Charles Sumner
    WILLIAMJAMES HULL HOFFER. THE CANING OF CHARLES SUM- NER: HONOR, IDEALISM, AND THE ORIGINS OF THE CIVIL WAR. BALTIMORE: JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY PRESS, 2010 Reviewed by Daniel Lawrence Slusser How critical was Preston Brooks’s attack on Charles Sumner in May of 1856 to the coming of the Civil War just four years later? Was the attack really about the defense of Senator Andrew Butler’s honor, or were there ulterior motives at play? These are some of the questions Williamjames Hull Hoffer seeks to answer in his latest book, The Caning of Charles Sumner. This event has been researched by many historians over the years, but the visceral nature of the attack and its proximity to the Civil War continue to capture the imagi- nation of modern historians. Hoffer’s account is a welcome addition to the volumes written on the subject and offers rare insights to the event that only a constitutional and legal scholar can bring to the table. Hoffer examines the political forces behind the caning of Sumner that raised sectional tensions in the late 1850s. While arguing that sectionalism and cultural divisions were a driving aspect of the matter, Hoffer does not overstate his argument or assert that an overwhelming homogeneity existed among the people within the opposing sections. An important aspect of Hof- fer’s study is his examination of the legal battle over slavery beginning in the late eighteenth century, and how this battle could no longer be restrained to 95 the forum written and spoken words in the 1850s. The fact that Sumner and Brooks were both lawyers speaks to the breakdown of the law during this time (p.
