''Representative Preston Brooks of South Carolina, distant cousin of Senator Butler, thought Sumner went too far. Two days after Sumner’s speech, Brooks entered the Senate chamber where Sumner was working at his desk and proceeded to strike the Northerner over the head repeatedly with a gold-tipped cane.
