Charles Sumner

"If slavery was a woman, she'd be an ugly one, and the Senator from South Carolina would like to boink her."

Charles Sumner was an abolitionist Republican from Massachusetts, who was caned on May 22, 1856, by Preston Brooks. In the Northern Nebula Sumner says, “Dude, Uncool.” Sumner survived the caning and returned to the Senate in 1857. Senator Sumner later became a member of a faction of the Republican Party known as the Radicals.
