"Malavasic argues that some Southern politicians in the 1850s did indeed hold an inordinate
amount of power in the antebellum Congress and used it to foster the interests of
slavery ... focuses her argument on Senators David Rice Atchison of Missouri, Andrew
Pickens Butler of South Carolina, and Robert M. T. Hunter and James Murray Mason of
Virginia, known by their contemporaries as the "F Street Mess" for the location of
the house they shared. ... the F Street Mess was a functioning oligarchy within the
U.S. Senate whose power was based on shared ideology, institutional seniority, and
personal friendship"
