After finishing reading this book, reading the notes and bibliography I can't help but want to know why? Why we're Southerners so enraged? Why did they use fists instead of words? Honor only? The author reveals all the fighting that occurred but I was often left wondering what caused individuals to become enraged. Just pointing out the fighting that went on is very revealing in itself but more needed to be said about specific "offences" that spurned congressmen into fighting. Southerners were just a bunch of hotheads and then Northerners took up the mantle later? Why specifically? Perhaps a companion book should be written focusing on one decade at a time in congress before the Civil War.

The Field of Blood is a careful examination of the level of violence manifested in the United States Congress in the tense and violent years of the 1830s, 40's and 50's. Congress in those distant years was a battlefield in which Northerners and Southerners came to the field of battle equipped with canes, guns, rifles, swords and firsts. Dueling was a mark of manhood in the bellicose Southern slave culture. An 1838 duel between Congressmen Cilley of New Hampshire resulted in his death by gunshot fired by his opponent Graves of Kentucky. This was the only person killed in a duel who was a sitting congressman. Freeman recounts the famous caning of Charles Sumner the abolitionist senator from Mass. at the hands of Preston Brooks of S. C. The picture Dr. Freeman of Yale paints is a violent and hate filled time in American history. The book is filled with period illustrations and includes an extensive bibliography and footnotes. We modern Americans sometimes are appalled at the battles in the present congress but we should remember that over a century ago the enmity in the congress was at a much higher level. A well researched book deserving the attention of lovers of history. Recommended.

I was very pleased with this book. Joanne Freeman has brought out a hidden history of the contentions in Congress during the antebellum era, contentions that sometimes, but not always, centered on the very issues that pushed the sections to the Civil War. Freeman uses as her flashlight on this history the life of Benjamin, a functionary in Congress & in the Lincoln Administration (& the Pierce Administration) who was "present" at many of the major DC events from about 1830 all the way to the Andrew Johnson presidency. Since he wrote lots of letters, was a sometime journalist & kept a diary, lots of the information about the battles in Congress can be found in his personal materials. Knowing this history will enrich your understanding of American political history. And it can serve as a tonic to proclamations that this "contemporary" Congress or that is the most violently split of any in our history. The photos, pictures & maps in the book reproduced well on my black & white Kindle.

A flawed book that deserved to be a good journal article. Too much repetition here of basic stories of individual members of Congress fighting each other in the years leading to the Civil War. If the words "bowie knife" and "bullying" were removed, its pages would shrink.My main problem is that no one fairly familiar with mid-19th century America will learn much from the investment in time taken to read Professor Freeman's book on emotional and physical violence by members of Congress. (By the way, her last name is perfect for that of a Civil War historian.)The terrible system and logic of Southern slavery was the basic cause of the Civil War and the national political problems preceding it.My secondary problems are matters of style. While I appreciate footnotes and sources, it seems overkill to have about one third of the total book devoted to this purpose. I also am not a fan of overly fulsome acknowledgments (here three pages worth) by an author: Why do I need to know Professor Freeman enjoyed eating breakfast at Meredith's Bread in Kingston, New York? Finally, I detest the overuse of the words "literal" and "literally." There must be at least ten such usages scattered here, climaxing with two separate cases on the last two pages of the book. "...on a -- literally--dark and stormy night." p 284 and on p. 285, " ...to proclaim his politics to the world almost literally until his dying day."

Reading the prelude to the war through the lens of the Congress was very insightful. The bullying and stifling of free speech in congress is not something taught in school. Congress was a reflection of the nation as a whole. Well written
