I got $20 on Mullin.
Or this
These guys talk a lot but that’s about it.
Cant forget the Burr-Hamilton duel.
Or this one
The 1850s were basically one political catastrophe after another and widely considered by historians to be America’s worst period outside the Civil War. There are so many examples of congressional crises that it’s hard to name them all. But hey, here are a few highlights.
In March 1850, Sen. William H. Seward of New York delivered his “Higher Law” address, stating that a compromise on slavery was wrong because under a higher law than the Constitution—the law of God—all men are free.
A month later, Sen. Henry Foote of Mississippi pulled a pistol on anti-slavery Sen. Thomas Hart Benton on the Senate floor. A wrestling match ensued, but no shots were fired.

South Carolina is sure wound tight.
"The beating nearly killed Sumner and contributed significantly to the country's polarization over the issue of slavery. It has been considered symbolic of the "breakdown of reasoned discourse"[1] and willingness to resort to violence that eventually led to the Civil War."
So you're saying there IS hope?
