A signal, violent event in the history of the United States Congress, the caning of Charles Sumner on the Senate floor embodied the complex North-South cultural divide of the mid-nineteenth century. This title demonstrates just how far the factions had drifted apart and explains why the coming war was so difficult to avoid.
