so, he decided to confront sumner. sumner, completely unwittingly avoided brooks for some time. it just happened that they passed each other at times where brooks couldn't go to speak to him and after a couple days of this, brooks got very angry. he waited for sumner at the back of the senate and he went up to them once the galleries were clear and struck him over the head with his cane more than 30 times. sumner fell into the eye away -- isl senate and had to leave the senate for some months to recover. so, this is a story that had long been told i sent him to proved how divisive washington was and certainly it became divisive outside of washington. it became divisive in the north and in the south. but if we look more closely at washington in this period, we can see it as part of a larger culture of violence and vice in the capital that was not so shocking to the people who lived at that time. it was part of the social and political code i am talking about. as i mentioned, washington a -- is not a vacation destination. it's not her suitable for ladies. it was much more of a man

when congress comes back in session, stevens in the house and sumner in the senate are aggressive intheir leadership in changing this. you get the 14th amendment. you get the 15th amendment. in 1871 which this film deals with a great deal, it is when you get your anti-ku klux klan act. if you believe wilson, grant was reluctant. he reluctantly comes aboard. if you read the congressional goal, it was granted that requested congress stay in session on march 23 1871, so they could pass the legislation. he said the south demanded it. it demanded we protect the citizens. you get this legislation. that really is the anger that you see in wilson's writing. anti-klan legislation. the enforcement acts. it is telling that story, it tends not to get told. the malala no -- mulatto lieutenant governor. there is one in louisiana at that time. pinchback is a leader. most of the problems, according to southern congressman, is because they are responding to this organization, the 4 l's. during the civil war, it was the single most important source of intelligence. that organization is well-organized.

there were a number of progressive northern's, charles sumner of massachusetts, who was brutally caned on the senate floor by preston brooks of south carolina for saying things that preston brooks disagreed with about the south and slavery, and a number of racially and socially aggressive members of congress who became to be known as the radical, almost exclusively republicans. this is a brand-new party. election of 1860 was the first election of which republican party had had a candidate gr. these were changes that became substantiated in the life of the city in the country. so, an awful lot of social spearman tatian -- the social experimentation. it was used as a hothouse for the radical plans. their objective was for them to see -- with regard to race relations, and in april 1862 this is nine months before the lincoln signed the declaration -- the emancipation. it is still celebrated in april of every year, the emancipation of the enslaved blacks in the district. not only did you have this progressive piece of legislation, that also because washington was under the control of the co

this was legislation introduced by senator sumner, who pair the antidiscrimination bill with the amnesty bill with this interesting attempt to couple the granting of rights for the formerly enslaved. for his colleagues, who argued that the issue should be entirely separate, he reported you must be just to the colored race before you are generous to the former rebels. despite his impassioned pleas and over 24 hours of debate, congress punted on civil rights for the formerly enslaved and amnesty was passed with a super majority vote 10 both houses. the civil rights amendment that had been his baby would go on to become the civil rights act of 1875, which was struck down by the supreme court in the civil rights cases. the implementation of this disqualification and the mandate of section three had substantially eroded public confidence in the north and south, and by now also west, by the time of the enactment of the amnesty bill, democrats regained control in 4 state governments part of the confederacy and were on their way to regaining the entire region. at the same time, the republican pa
