The Caning of Charles Sumner showed that the North and the South were deeply divided. Northerners were outraged at the caning and Charles Sumner became a martyr in the North. Preston Brooks became a hero in the South and was praised by southern newspapers. Brooks' assault was also an important part of changing the struggling Republican Party into a major political force.
