Dueling Cultures, Damnable Legacies
Welborn
In 1856, when Preston Smith Brooks viciously beat the abolitionist Charles Sumner on the Senate floor, the ideology of righteous honour reached its apogee and took national centre stage. Welborn analyses the birth of this peculiar moral ethic and traces its increasing dominance across the American South in the build-up to the Civil War.
