@davidmacy411 "This is nothing, and its been the case for a long time. Take a look at the caning of Senator Sumner."
There wasn't a single like for this post I've quoted, an hour after it was written. Nor has anyone replied to it. This person knows their history. I salute you, David Macy. For those of you who don't know about this, I strongly recommend you look it up.
Briefly: In 1856, heat was rising to the boiling point between pro-slavery and anti-slavery, between states, and between law makers, all the way up to the senate. South Carolina Representative Preston Brooks "entered the Senate Chamber and repeatedly struck Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts over the head with a cane. The assault was in reaction to a speech in which Sumner criticized slavery and the Senators who supported it, including Andrew Butler, a relative of Brooks."
