@Canuck12:
Sounds like he was a bad-ass who stood up for what he believed in and wasn’t afraid to fight, kill and die for it. I like a man with balls like that.
Cool. Thanks for the story.
The first person your hero “John Brown” killed was a -free- black man, who was trying to stop John from heisting a train.
Whatever you choose to believe - John Brown was an idiot.
Promoting freedom of slaves is one thing; But promoting slave rebellions is quite literally something else. Slave Rebellions back then were viewed as horrendously as School Shootings are today, with lots of -innocent- people getting killed in the process. Much like John Browns first kill…
John Brown’s own friends knew this, hence why they chose NOT to support him for the most part in his cause.
His death was a fitting end to his life of stupidity and promotion of violence.
