“It was hard to be moderate in immoderate times.”
Joanne B. Freeman, The Field of Blood: Violence in Congress and the Road to Civil War

“The Arkansas House deserves special mention. In 1837, when a representative insulted the Speaker during debate, the Speaker stepped down from his platform, bowie knife in hand, and killed him. Expelled and tried for murder, he was acquitted for excusable homicide and reelected, only to pull his knife on another legislator during debate, though this time the sound of colleagues cocking pistols stopped him cold.”
Joanne B. Freeman, The Field of Blood: Violence in Congress and the Road to Civil War

“In this sense, the crisis of the Union was a crisis of communication. Northerners were waging war against the South with dangerous words; Southerners were trying to stifle those words with force, and the cross-fire was cutting off conversation, particularly in Congress, an institution grounded on open debate and free speech.”
Joanne B. Freeman, The Field of Blood: Violence in Congress and the Road to Civil War
