This is an old revision of the document!
The assault of Charles Sumner was a pristine metaphor to African American slaves as to why emancipation and legal protection was necessary. The assaults barbaric nature was seen to slaves as what was too come even if freed. The way the South praised the attack was a sign to slaves as what would happen even if freed, brutal attacks would continue as well as unfair treatment unless strict legal policies were put in place.
