Violencia! (June 5th 1856)

Hey, remember last time when I said that I would post if anything happened, well guess what? Something happened. So my Uncle was getting really mad, he had just moved out there to Kansas and learned about the situation, when suddenly he hears that a mob is going over to Lawrence and what does he do? Goes out and joins em', comes back Hours later covered in soot and ash and a wee bit o' blood. He goes on to explain the chaotic scene, they went into the town burned the hotel, destroyed the library and printing presses and KILLED ONE MAN. I was in shock, I mean slavery is good but I dunno if we need to go to murder over it..... Also, I done come to find out that my son, Preston Brooks, done gone and defended his uncle's honor, beat down that dang Charles Sumner who insulted my Brothers Honor! Gave him quite the congratulations afterwards, heh, he always did follow the old southern traditions. And last but not least, what the heck is up with this John Brown feller? Who just goes, takes people out of their beds and then hacks them to death? I mean killing one guy, that ain't as bad as five, and cause of all this the newspapers done started calling us Bleeding Kansas, well I don't know about you but I don't take to that name kindly! Right I think that's it for me maybe I will post again, maybe not.... Jebidiah Montegery Brooks the third signing out!
