Northerners in Congress welcomed California with open arms, but Southerners rejected California's request.

Before long, Kansas had two competing governments in the territory, one for slavery and one against it. The struggle over slavery soon turned violent. On May 21, 1856, proslavery settlers and so-called “border ruffians” from Missouri invaded Lawrence, Kansas, the home of the antislavery government. Armed invaders burned a hotel, looted several homes, and tossed the printing press of an abolitionist newspaper into the Kaw River.]]> 2018-05-03 18:47:53 UTC https://padlet.com/hayden_logan/8ya0wtime7wl/wish/257807276 hayden_logan https://padlet.com/hayden_logan/8ya0wtime7wl/wish/257808325 Preston Brooks, attacked Sumner in the Senate, beating him with his metal-tipped cane until it broke in half.
