       "The Great Abolitionist" is the first major biography of Charles Sumner to be published in over 50 years. Acclaimed historian Stephen Puleo relates the story of one of the most influential political figures in American history with evocative and accessible prose, transporting readers back to an era when our leaders exhibited true courage and authenticity in the face of unprecedented challenges.https://www.thehistoryreader.com/historical-figures/featured-excerpt-the-great-abolitionist/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=featured-excerpt-the-great-abolitionistBooks by Charles Sumner at PG:https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/1986#history

       @gutenberg_org  Not being American or a history buff, I did not immediately recognise the cartoon as being a Southern slave advocate, beating almost to death a vocal advocate of equality, on the floor of the house.Can any Americans let me know if anything has changed since then ?
