Senator Charles Sumner spent the next three years barely able to leave his bed, in severe pain from brain trauma. During this time the Governor of Massachusetts not only refused to replace his vacant seat, but the people of Massachusetts re-elected him. The empty seat was a powerful symbol to the nation, of the violence and brutality of the slaveholder.

@andalilbitqueer Год назад

not to take away from you're core message, but instead to just pedantically correct a misconception; US senators were not elected by popular vote at the time, so Sumner was not really re-elected by the people of Massachusetts. It is noteworthy though, that he was confirmed unanimously by the State Senate and by a vote of 333-11 in the State House.

After the caning, Senator Brooks was then publically humiliated when Senator Burlingame, a friend of Sumner, goaded Brooks into challenging him to a duel. Since he was being challenged, Burlingame got the choice of weapons, and he chose rifles. Brooks then said, "Oh damn!" when he realized that Burlingame was a crack shot with a rifle. He had no choice but to concede with the weak excuse that he didn't want to endanger himself, traveling through Northern states to get to the duel.

Anecdote about the aftermath of the Caning of Charles Sumner which might fit well in Lies: After the assualt, a Massachussets legislator and friend of Sumner, Anson Burlingame, gave a speech attacking Brooks and goaded Brooks into challenging him to a duel. When Brooks did so, Burlingame was allowed to pick the location and weapons. Burlingame was a notorious sharpshooter, picked deadly hunting rifles as the weapon, and Niagra Falls Canada as the location. This would protect him from American anti-dueling laws if/when he killed Brooks in the duel. Brooks backed out stating he didn't want to travel through the north to attend. He died a "horrid death" from a lung infection the next year though so there is a shred of justice here.

In this case, it almost certainly was, the extra 30 years, if not more, would see a generation more die in slavery, but in other cases that isn't true.

@thomaskilmer Год назад

I'm going to level with you, 56 deaths in this conflict is a lot lower than just the number of slaves who would be beaten to death each year in a slave state Kansas. I would argue that when you include violence perpetuated on enslaved people, the results of Brown's actions do not qualify as an escalation of violence. It was merely an expansion of violence to a strata of society which had previously managed to shield themselves from the violence they profited off of, and then the usual day-to-day violence they'd always inflicted on anyone who resisted.

A great continuation of the Sumner story; Preston (the man who beat Sumner) was seen as a hero in the South and a villain in the North. He became a celebrity, but his career as a serious politician was essentially over at this point. He talked a very big game and made clear he'd visit similar violence on others who disrespected him/the South. A Northern representative by the name of Anson Burlingame took him up on his word and challenged him to a duel. Back then, duels were mostly formalities to preserve honour - each duelist would fire their pistols, 90% of the time miss (due to how unreliable pistols were at the time), and go home with their dignity intact. Preston accepted the challenge. ... That is, until he found out that Anson was a notorious crack-shot. As Anson proposed the duel, he also got to pick the location, and he picked North of the Canadian border. This was because anti-duelling laws didn't apply there, and Anson couldn't be held liable for whatever happened. Essentially, Anson was planning on straight-up murdering Preston without facing legal repurcussions. After learning more about his opponent and the conditions of the duel, Preston just started ghosting Anson and never spoke to him again. Sumner, meanwhile, went on to have a long and storied political career, in which Abraham Lincoln called him his most trusted moral compass. This is one of my favourite quotes of his; "Say sir, in your madness, that you own the moon. The sun. The stars... But you cannot say that you own a man, in possession of a soul that will immortally after the light of the moon, the stars, and the sun have gone out."

I have been to the church where the one of the John Brown's key meetings with the secret six took place. It was on a pilgramage with my church back in high school, since I'm Unitarian-Universalist and the church was a historically Unitarian one. While not all Unitarians were strongly devoted to abolitionism, most at least opposed slavery in principle, as Unitarian ideals tend to line up pretty strongly against slavery, so there were a number of Unitarian abolitionists who saw the fight against slavery as strongly connected to their faith. In fact, two of the secret six were Unitarian ministers.

He was bedridden for a few years and was unable to return to the Senate floor until 1860 due to PTSD.

After mustering the fortitude to return to the Senate, he became chairman of the foreign affairs committee after the South seceded, obtained diplomatic recognition for Haiti, and was a key advisor to President Lincoln during the war. He was a leader of the Radical Republicans during reconstruction and advocated for equal rights for freedmen. He died in office in 1874 and was the second senator in US history to lay in state at the Capitol.

In many cases in human history violence is what causes change, it is one of the few things we will actually respond to. It is just important to remember that targeted violence is far more effective than senseless violence. No matter if your message is right or not.

@BobHerzog1962 Год назад

The logical conclusion of this sentiment is dangerous though. Because no monarch was then toppled justly. The American Revolution was unesseary. Heck even WW2 should have been avoided by more appeasement. The thing is from a moral stance of view chattel slavery is abhorrent enough to justify all manners of violence to stand against it. Also it implies that there was a peaceful solution on offer. For someone who wanted slavery gone (and not just compromised on and contained) there was no in sight. The argument that slavery was on it's way out is false as the reaction to the stop of trade has shown. Breeding programs expanded the numbers of the enslaved well beyond those of the times with the trade in place. If any soilder or politician anywhere in history was justified to go to war for freedom and democracy then you can't dismiss those who did for those enslaved in the south as unjustified.

weird thing about slavers-- they were all for dehumanizing when the odds were in their favor, and they've cultivated a weird (dbl-think) mythos around the "war of northern aggression" ever since ( in the hopes of returning to that nostalgic "golden age")

@samreid6010 Год назад

Burlingame was famously a crack shot with a rifle and since he had goaded Brooks into challenging him, he was the one who got to choose the weapon. Brooks then tried to duck the duel by claiming he didn’t want to put himself in danger by entering the northern states to get to Canada (which did not have laws against dueling). Burlingame offered both train and boat tickets for him and guards, but Brooks was too much of a coward to follow through
