I believe Preston Brooks of South Carolina fixed Sumner’s “hash”.......(he should have just shot him in a duel, but that would have been beneath him, as Sumner was no Gentleman.) So in the South it's the gentlemanly thing to sneak up behind an older, unarmed opponent and club him half to death? No wonder you all honor John Booth.
