sumner, his biographer said, sumner believes that the civil war was not one by the generals on the battlefield, it was won by the senators on capitol hill. of course, grant took another position on that point. there is some evidence that sumner wanted to be nominated for president himself in 1868. that i think would have been a forlorn hope if he indeed held such a hope at all. but it is much more likely, and i think demonstrated, that he did want to be secretary of state in the new administration. he did not get that job either. he became an ardent critic of the new administration. indeed he remained an ardent critic throughout the rest of his life. the six years he remained alive until he died in 1874. in his new england accent, charles sumner liked to refer to grant as grant. you can imagine that was somewhat irritating to the ref ian general from illinois. sumner never missed a chance to level the most damning rhetoric against the president. i want to share with you a few lines of a speech he made in 1872. this was on the eve of the republican national convention, that was the year ground

sumner -- brooks only stopped when his cane broke. sumner miraculously survived. it took him three years to recover and some might argue he never fully recovered. the letters poured into support charles sumner from the black community and one i would like to share with you in particular. it validated desires to entertain and politics at the national level. one of the most remarkable responses came from a black newspaper that debuted about a month after the attack. the op-ed was titled "a challenge to mr. brooks." a woman called the attacks cowardly, to eat a man, on art -- to beat a man unarmed and down. she challenge brooks to meet her anywhere with pistols, rifles, or cow hides. the outrage had no bearing on her sex. she and other that she was 50 years old and a widow. she had lost two sons and the mexican war and brooks action represented a direct affront to our own liberty, a liberty that she believed her country should protect. she said "now then, mr. brooks, let's see some of your courage. you are afraid to meet a man. dare you meet a woman?" she said that s
