The Kansas Problem

• Topeka: antislavery

In his antislavery speech, Sumner identified two Democratic Senators as the principal culprits in this crime -- Stephen Douglas of Illinois and Andrew Butler of South Carolina.  He characterized Douglas to his face as a "noise-some, squat, and nameless animal . . . not a proper model for an American senator."  Sumner charged Butler with taking "a mistress . . . who, though ugly to others, is always lovely to him; though polluted in the sight of the world, is chaste in his sight -- I mean," added Sumner, "the harlot, Slavery."
