Yesterday in class, we talked about John Brown! He was an abolitionist who attempted to use violence to achieve his goals and free the slaves. Him and some of his followers attacked an arsenal in Harper's Ferry, VA. It did not end well. Him and his men were captured outside the arsenal. Brown was later hanged for his crimes.
Today in class, we read eyewitness accounts about the incident with John Brown at Harper's Ferry. These accounts were from John Starry, Robert E. Lee, and John Brown. John Brown seemed regretful, but he still was convinced that he was right. He seems like and odd guy. He claimed that he didn't want to hurt anybody... so what did he want the weapons for? To dress up have a tea party with? Maybe he meant that he didn't want the people who he deemed innocent to be harmed. Or maybe he didn't intend for himself to be the one who harmed anyone.
