He probably thought he was going to warn the white southern slave owners. House slaves and freed slaves were sometimes involved in the vileness that was slavery in the Old South. John Brown would have avoided the entire Civil War if he was successful. His cause was just and he was a great man.
I'm shocked that people are still racist enough to hate him.
That's not a valid excuse to kill someone. They also killed him because he refused their thug actions. He was a terrorist. Had there been some other cause and slavery never happened, he's the type to have caused trouble for trouble's sake. He was a murderer. The end. His actions go against my Buddhist philosophy.
