Good condition.<br /> <br /> From wikipedia: The caning of Charles Sumner or the Brooks–Sumner Affair occurred on May 22 1856 in the United States Senate chamber when Representative Preston Brooks a pro-slavery Democrat from South Carolina used a walking cane to attack Senator Charles Sumner an abolitionist Republican from Massachusetts. The attack was in retaliation for an invective-laden speech given by Sumner two days earlier in which he fiercely criticized slaveholders including pro-slavery South Carolina Senator Andrew Butler a relative of Brooks. The beating nearly killed Sumner and contributed significantly to the country's polarization over the issue of slavery. It has been considered symbolic of the "breakdown of reasoned discourse"1 and willingness to resort to violence that eventually led to the Civil War.<br /> Although Sumner was unable to return to the Senate until December 18592 the Massachusetts legislature refused to replace him leaving his empty desk in the Senate as a public reminder of the attack.
