The Caning of Charles Sumner: Honor, Idealism, and the Origins of the Civil War - Witness to History
Hoffer, Williamjames Hull (Seton Hall University)
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.
