Northerners reacted with outrage and indignation to the beating of Senator Charles Sumner by Congressman Preston Brooks in 1856. Many viewed the attack as a brutal assault on free speech and a symbol of the increasing violence surrounding the slavery debate.

His injury and subsequent absence from the Senate became a rallying point for those opposed to the expansion of slavery.

That phrase does not apprear in the constitution. I got the following: "The phrase "separation of church and state" does not appear anywhere in the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson wrote that the 1st Amendment erected a "wall of separation" between the church and the state (James Madison said it "drew a line," but it is Jefferson's term that sticks with us today). The phrase is commonly thought to mean that the government should not establish, support, or otherwise involve itself in any religion. The Religion Topic Page addresses this issue in much greater detail." From here: http://www.usconstitution.net/constnot.htmlThe Phrase "Separation of Church and State" Does NOT appear ANYWHERE in the US Constitution.The separation of church and state is a legal and political principle derived from the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . ." The phrase separation of church and state is generally traced to an 1802 letter by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists, where Jefferson spoke of the combined effect of the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. The phrase itself does not appear in the Constitution, but it has been quoted in several opinions handed down by the United States Supreme Court.[1]
