Preston Brooks was a Southern Congressman and a passionate advocate of Southern Rights. Charles Sumner was an ardent abolitionist who delivered an impassioned speech against the authors of the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1856. He also ridiculed the speech impediment of one of the authors, Andrew Butler. Preston Brooks got angry because he was the nephew of Andrew Butler. Together with a friend, Brooks approached Sumner as the latter worked at his desk and started caning Sumner. Sumner collapsed in the aisle and Preston Brooks continued caning him until his cane broke. Southerners sent canes to Preston Brooks to replace the one he broke.

What are the responsibilities of a citizen?

Alchen [17]

A person who is legally recognized by tradition or law as belonging to a sovereign nation or as having pledged loyalty to a government in return for that government's protection, whether at home or abroad, is said to be a citizen of that nation. One of the main cornerstones of a nation is its citizens. They are required to follow its laws and perform their tasks as required, and they are entitled to all the legal rights and advantages that a state grants to the citizens who make up its constituency. Each of us has a number of rights and obligations toward our neighborhood, state, and nation as a citizen.

Thank you,

Eddie
