ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY :JUNE 21, 1856 Democrat depravity. June 21st 1856, Republican Congressman Anson Burlingame excoriated Preston Brooks as "the vilest sort of coward". That odious Democrat Congressman had beaten nearly to death a Republican Senator, Charles Sumner. Brooks challenged Burlingame to a duel. Uh oh! Burlingame accepted. The vile and cowardly Brooks was too afraid to show up.https://grandoldpartisan.blogspot.com/2026/06/heroic
