I just want to say I admire this man to the utmost. He was a real man and a real patriot and truth be told he holds one of the most if not the most important esteem in my life. He's the greatest white man to ever live. This is the original Malcolm X except he was white. He was not to be played with feared across the South and is the reason the Civil war started. It took Robert E Lee (that fucking coward) 2,000 men to stop John Brown. John Brown told his sons that died along side the negro fighters to die with honor like men. John killed Slave Holders it's what he did. He instructed and taught Harriet Tubman and tried to get Frederick Douglas to join him but Frederick Douglas was putting salt in the game and telling black men not to join John Browns violent insurrection movement. Frederick Douglas didnt realize the path to freedom was always gonna be paved with blood. John Brown my Hero was ahead of his time. Here's his story:
John Brown(May 9, 1800 – December 2, 1859) was an Americanabolitionistwho believed in and advocated armed insurrection as the only way to overthrow the institution ofslavery in the United States. He first gained attention when he led small groups of volunteers during theBleeding Kansascrisis of 1856. He was dissatisfied with the pacifism of the organized abolitionist movement: "These men are all talk. What we need is action—action!" In May 1856, Brown and his supporters killed five supporters of slavery in thePottawatomie massacre, which responded to thesacking of Lawrenceby pro-slavery forces. Brown then commanded anti-slavery forces at theBattle of Black Jack(June 2) and theBattle of Osawatomie(August 30).
In 1859, Brown led a raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia (still Virginia at the time) to start a liberation movement among the slaves there. He seized the armory, but seven people were killed and ten or more were injured. He intended to arm slaves with weapons from the arsenal, but the attack failed. Within 36 hours, Brown's men had fled or been killed or captured by local farmers, militiamen, and US Marines led by Robert E. Lee. He was tried for treason against the Commonwealth of Virginia, the murder of five men, and inciting a slave insurrection, was found guilty on all counts, and was hanged.
Historians agree that the Harpers Ferry raid escalated tensions which led to the South's secession a year later and the American Civil War.
