Charles Sumner thread!!
This thread is inspired by a picture from the terror attack on the US Capitol on Wed. I’m not going to copy or otherwise link to the picture b/c I find it offensive but it involves a protestor standing with a confederate flag in front of Sumner’s portrait
Sumner was Boston born and raised to a very liberal family and grew up committed to racially integrated schools and prison reform among much else. Above all he was a passionate abolitionist. He was a celebrated orator and considered a radical even in liberal MA
Before the 17th amendment, senators were not directly elected, but appointed by their state legislatures. MA, newly dominated by democrats, elected Sumner by a 1 vote majority to replace Daniel Webster in 1851.
