Lecture - The Lost History of Congressional Violence in Antebellum America
Between 1830 and 1860, Washington D.C. experienced a remarkable outburst of violence on the House and Senate floors, including shoving matches, fist fights, wielded weapons, and a few all-out melees. Joanne Freeman, professor of history and American studies at Yale University, explores what this reveals about congressional politics in the years preceding the Civil War.
