The caning of Charles Sumner occurred right here in the United States Congress in 1856. Charles Sumner was beaten nearly to death with a cane by Preston Brooks. Preston Brooks was upset over an anti-slavery speech given by Charles Sumner a few days before.
Preston Brooks, of South Carolina. Its little understood today that there was a meaning to the method of Brook's assault. Brooks beat Sumner with a cane. If Brooks had considered Sumner to be a "gentleman", he would have challenged Sumner to a duel. By simply attacking and beating him he was saying that Sumner was not a gentleman, and did not deserve the respect one should accord a gentleman.

I am doing a research visual novel about John Booth. So I am looking to get some information about Isabel too.The only information that I can find about Isabel Sumner was that she had a short affair with Booth in 1863. There are several letters from Booth to Sumner and they can be found in the Book Right or Wrong, God Judge Me: The Writings of John Wilkes Booth.Also in the book, it says she was born on or about June 1st 1847. It also mentions a last name. Dunbar.A quick google search for Isabel Sumner Dunbar brings up a grave site.It lists the occupant's birth date June 1st, 1847 and Death Feb. 23, 1927.This may be the same person...
