[edit] Topics
This article very clearly is biased towards Preston Brooks. If it uses facts accurately (citations, citations, citations), it is one-sided and paints Brooks' beating of Sumner. I mean, the line, "Thereupon Brooks decided a cane was a more appropriate tool for a man of Sumner's breeding," is too much, implying that Sumner's breeding was actually poor, and that the opinions of Brooks (if they, indeed, are his opinions, since there are no citations) are general fact and not simply his person opinion which may not have been the prevalent view on Sumner, Brooks or the incident. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prottas (talk • contribs)
