        @BeschlossDC Thanks for leading me to the Senator's story. An extremely important anti-slavery figure in our Nation's history.

        @BeschlossDC One incident among many that led to the South being utterly destroyed. Became a close friend to Lincoln.

        @Dodgergal60 anti-slavery speech called "The Crime Against Kansas." It took him 3 years to return to the Senate after the beating. A hero.
