EDITORS COMMENTS
The iconic print "SUMNER AND BROOKS, 1856. Arguments of the Chivalry" captures a pivotal moment in American history. The image depicts the shocking scene that unfolded on May 22,1856, when Congressman Preston S. Brooks viciously attacked Senator Charles Sumner with a cane on the Senate floor. Surrounded by prominent figures such as Lawrence M. Keitt, Stephen A. Douglas, and Robert Toombs, this lithograph exposes the deep divisions between North and South during a time of intense political turmoil. Atop the image is a powerful quote by Henry Ward Beecher: "The Symbol of the North is the Pen; The Symbol of the South is the Bludgeon". This cartoon-like representation serves as both an artistic expression and historical documentation of this violent incident that occurred amidst debates over abolitionism and Westward expansion. It symbolizes not only physical violence but also ideological clashes between radical Republicans advocating for change and Southern Democrats defending their way of life. The significance of this photograph lies in its ability to encapsulate an era marked by tension and conflict leading up to the Civil War. It stands as a reminder that words alone were not enough to resolve these differences; they often escalated into acts of aggression. As we reflect upon this image today, it serves as a stark reminder of how far our nation has come in terms of civil discourse while also highlighting how much work remains to be done in order to promote understanding and unity among all Americans.
