Can't wait for fist fights on the House floor

The picture Dr. Freeman of Yale paints is a violent and hate filled time in American history. The book is filled with period illustrations and includes an extensive bibliography and footnotes. We modern Americans sometimes are appalled at the battles in the present congress but we should remember that over a century ago the enmity in the congress was at a much higher level. A well researched book deserving the attention of lovers of history. Recommended.

Of course, being broadcast would be novel. And, the former slave-owning states should have evolved, but apparently not.
