in the end, sumner miraculously survived. it took him more than three years to recover from his injuries. and some might argue that he never fully recovered. but what i think is interesting is the letters of support that poured in for charles sumner from the black community. and one letter that i'd like to share with you, in particular. sumner's attack validated african-americans' desires to intervene in politics at the national level and have their voices heard. one of the most remarkable responses to sumner's beating came from the new orleans daily creole. the op-ed was titled, quote, a challenge to mr. brooks. mrs. amelia robinson called the attacks cowardly. to beat a man, unarmed and down. she referred to brooks as a cringing puppy, who she would gladly challenge to meet her any place with, quote, pistols, rifles, or cow hides. the outrage, robinson felt, had no bearing on her sex, she like other black leaders was exacerbated by the sacrifices it cost her dearly. she was 50 years old and a widow. she had lost two sons in

so, i want to tell a story that you're all familiar with, it's the story of a senator charles sumner from massachusetts and his gaining while he was in the senate chamber. but i also want to tell you a little bit further because i know we are freely about the story and tell you how people responded and how black people responded to this cain. charles sumner, just to give you a context, it's giving a speech, he's talking about the candidates and nebraska act, and talking about how horrible he thinks this act is. so charles sumner spoke out against the actor during a speech in which he ridiculed its authors, stephen douglas and andrew butler. using incendiary language and sexual imagery, he claimed that southerners crime against kansas was, quote, akin to the rape of a virgin. some nor accused senator butler of being in love with a harlot, that harlot being slavery. his three hour speech -- can you imagine this being three hours? his three our speech was so controversial that stephen douglas remark to a colleague, this fool is going to get himself a shot by another fool. sure enough, p

senate floor and he has a walking stick, would stick with a metal tip on it and he walks over to sumner, the senator and says you have ruined the reputation of one of my relatives, he mentioned in the speech and he picks up his cane and he starts hitting sumner with it, again and again, and again, and again, and again, and he keeps going, he is bloodied and his crabbing oil are sitting there so nobody can save him. and they're going again and again, and again, like a baseball bat. this is a sitting congressman, physically beating a united states senator on the floor of the senate. you would think we hate each other now but you need -- it almost sounds naÏve but also it, we were caught off guard and we know that it's a civil war, we know it's brother against brother, that's the way we talk about, i don't think any of us really appreciate the level, it is one thing to not like someone, it's one thing to hate someone and another thing to want them dead. i think it was pretty staggered that you see in those parts of the book, we want to paint the picture to get the perspective. >> i think t

edwin sumner will arrive. i've leave that to vince armstrong tomorrow but there is a point to make about that george mcclennan and we hear about his cautious and timidity, he doubles down and sent in another 15,000. he's making simultaneous attacks on opposite ends of the field. one of the units that -- or a unit that suffers the highest number of casualties in the part of sumner's attack, sedgewick into the westwood, i'll move the map forward and you could catch a little bit of that. the 15th massachusetts, frank bull ya bullard, they flew as fast as we could get them out of our runs. i thought to myself we got you now and i heard fall back. and i turned around and said what does that mean. but again the cry, fall back. now someone yelled fall back. we're flanked the rebels are in our rear, i looked back and i was true in a moment all was confusion, every man for himself. we ran like a flock of sheep. the remembers mowed us down. the sedgewick division moves into the westwood, they'll lose half of the command

he walks over to sumner, to the center and says senator, you have been -- u of ruin the reputation of one of my relatives. i guess sumner mentioned in the speech any pics of the king and he starts hitting some do with it again and again and again and again and again, and he keeps going and he is bloodied. they are going again and again and again, like a baseball bat. this is a sitting congressman physically beating a united states senator on the floor of the senate. you would think we hate each other now, like, you need to -- it almost sounds naÏve but i'll say it, is i think we were caught offguard. we know it's the civil war, brother against brother. i don't think either of us really appreciated the level of being them. it's one thing not to like someone. it's another to write someone. it's another to want them dead. it was pretty staggering you'll see in the reports of the book we really wanted to paint the picture to give your perspective. >> that's a great tech officer when you brought the book together. he talked about josh and work he did with you and the research, but i think

it is the story of charles sumner. he's on the senate floor in washington dc and is given this great speech about why we should into slavery. in the next day or a few days later, a sitting congressman walked into the senate floor and is that a walking stick, would stick with metal tip on it. he walks over to sumner pretty to the senator and says senator, you have reputation you ruined it. and he picks up his cane and it starts hitting sumner with it. again and again and again and again and again. and he keeps going. anybody. and no one can save them. and they go again and again and again. like a baseball bat. this is a sitting congressman. physically meeting the united states senator on the floor of the senate. you think we hit each other now. it almost sounds naÏve but i will say it we were caught off guard and we know it's brother against brother. i don't think any of us appreciate the level. it's one thing to hate someone. in another to want them dead. i think it was pretty staggering sing those early parts of the b

sumner. they get a telegram from the governor of south carolina saying we started bombarding the fort. it's going to close. it's going to fall at any minute and they stop work and stop talking, start talking about secession. up until that time, they were interested in compromise. but turned just like that. alexander stevens, vice president of the con fed residency, hears that virginia has finally seceded four days after ft. sumner. he takes the train and gets to richmond and gives this long speech on the floor of the convention and saying that a number of other things, it's a long speech, but he says our constitution, the new constitution, the confederate constitution, is built on the idea of the supremacy of the white man and inferiority of the black man. he doubles down on it and says i repeat, our way of life, our government is built upon black inferiority. so it's pretty visceral as you can get. in here, it's actually startling. i lived in new mexico. we have an interesting relation with

this ultimately leads to violence on the senate floor, when senator charles sumner is caned on the floor of the senate in may of 1856. past that, it just accelerates toward the first secession of a state in december of 1860, south carolina. so the kansas-nebraska act is to -- is significant because it is effectively the trigger for the violence that spirals. -- spirals into those secession of the first date in 18 60 after the election of abraham lincoln in november of that year. matt, would you like to add to that? guest: there is a lot there. i would simply add that the act also accelerated the demise of the whig party and led to the rise of the republican party which was a regional party. the republican party was not represented in the south. it was the election of the republican president, abraham lincoln, without southern electoral votes that prompted south carolina and 10 other states to secede from the union. host: a couple of technical questions. they want to know your advice on this. the first one comes from sydney from pius x catholic school in lincoln, nebraska. she wants to kn

the charles sumner maybe the biggest single member of the wartime congress with the gray antislave larryraider lawn - - orator with gray hair everybody love to hear them on the stop but nobody paid attention to him on capitol hill. but there were some eastern tennessee and to have deeply racist. and there might have been one from louisiana which did have a unionist element. i wouldn't swear to that. there was the virginian. it is a handful they were allowed to remain but the union armies marched to the enclave to reestablish governments to the union and there is a lot of controversy if they had any business or not. very controversial. >> one more question. >> you started the talk giving a picture so can you describe that a little more? >> it was washington dc with the blacks doing the cleaning and the boots it just seems alexandria down the road reoccurred by slavery they are beautiful pictures but i cannot put it together. >> for ginny is a slave state. and then what to do where it is legal in areas that are loyal to the union. northern virginia was occupied. and there was quiet problem

charles sumner many of you know is the leading of the radicals and he said he had been allowed to freethout talking about it. he was recorded saying, stan why did you do it and say nothing about it? it becomes a controversy that lincoln has to weigh in and lincoln writes a letter where he says to slaveholders he cannot be blind to signs of the times. look at what's happening. so even though he doesn't permit moving forward and he requires congress to issue counter order nullifying emancipation and disbanding south carolina volunteers he's waiting for the idea on the inside as congress gets involved they want to know, how did hunter get the idea? what's the connection between hunter's Ãand the war department in stanton. i couldn't do that. that would be betraying information only served between myself and the president. he doesn't testify in the name of executive privilege but general contour is another matter because he's all the way down in south carolina he has to answer written queries from congress and the written queries are read out loud in congress and to be honest, it makes peo
