RE: Jerks in History
The sexual nature of Sumner's speech didn't happen by chance. That Southern masters used their slaves as concubines, or that slavery even existed in America, was an even greater injustice than Sumner's tirade against Andrew Butler or Douglas. I'm sorry, but there's no justification for Brooks's actions.
