Well violence erupted in Kansas over slavery and in congress between Senator Charles Sumner and representative Preston s.Brooks?

Violence erupted in Kansas during the mid-1850s as pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions clashed in a struggle known as "Bleeding Kansas," reflecting the intense national conflict over slavery. This turmoil was mirrored in Congress when Senator Charles Sumner delivered a fiery speech condemning pro-slavery forces, which prompted Representative Preston Brooks to attack him on the Senate floor in 1856, severely beating him with a cane. These events underscored the deepening divisions in the United States and foreshadowed the impending Civil War.
