	Description:		Only on the "CBS This Morning" podcast, Yale history professor Joanne Freeman joins "CBS This Morning" co-host John Dickerson to discuss her new book, "The Field of Blood: Violence in Congress and the Road to Civil War." Freeman shares the long-lost story of physical violence on the floor of the U.S. Congress. She shows a Capitol rife with conflict decades before the Civil War. Freeman discusses how times have changed since then and the parallels we can draw to that time. She details to Dickerson the 18 year writing process and the research it entailed.
