Question

Who insulted Senator Andrew Butler and was beaten.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In his view, Sumner was no gentleman; no better than a drunkard, due to his supposedly coarse and insulting language toward Butler. Brooks then decided to "punish" Sumner with a public beating. On May 22, two days after Sumner's speech, Brooks entered the Senate chamber in company with Keitt.

Answer 2

Answer: Charles Sumner

Explanation: On May 20, 1856, Senator Charles Sumner made a speech denouncing "The Crime Against Kansas" and the Southern leaders whom he regarded as complicit, including Brooks's first cousin once removed, Senator Andrew Butler.[1]:7 Sumner compared Butler with Don Quixote for embracing a prostitute (slavery) as his mistress, saying Butler "believes himself a chivalrous knight".
