John Brown is remembered fondly in American history as a martyr who sacrificed himself for the cause of abolition, and often we hear asked is John Brown a hero or a terrorist, with his crusade against slavery very commonly held above the horrendus actions he committed, especially by more liberal historians. Because of this, Brown's crimes and questionable character are swept under the rug or excused in the name of abolition, but if we look past that, simply at John Brown's actions and intentions, we find a man who was either mad or just plain evil. This is why John Brown really wasn't a hero, for his role in the outbreak of the Civil War, for the crimes he committed against civilians, and for his very own conspiracy to secede from the union.

I don’t think you can just lazily equate abolitionism with left wing attitudes. That just equates liberalism with any and all positive developments. Many abolitionists were among the most theologically and culturally conservative people in the North who viewed abolition as enacting God’s will and purifying America’s broken morality. They weren’t liberals.

You missed the point, John Brown was a murderous scum bag who didn't care who died because of his actions. He espoused a cause as a cover for his murderous ways. If you listen to the rhetoric of the left you will hear echos of John Brown's rhetoric in it, murder the opposition. Both Brown and the left define the opposition not a person's actions or beliefs but by a person's background/'race.

When faced with such a noble task I am willing to overlook nearly all of his other flaws.

The idea that supporting a slave revolt is the same as supporting a genocide is insane. Yes, usually there is a lot of racial animus during revolts led under a race based slave system, and sure this is bad. But in the long term, a successful slave revolt prevents generations of misery and violence, primarily harming only those who did violence themselves in the form of owning their fellow man.

@@davidstanford9933 I get your general point but I just don’t think it’s in line with the historical evidence. For one, the effect John Brown had in triggering the civil war is greatly exaggerated. It would have happened without him probably on the same dates, he’s merely an ideological martyr for the North who was one of the many minor causes that led to the war. For two, your claim that the reconstruction government’s policy was “disastrous” is unironically bordering on racism, the reconstruction government was the one that ended the enslavement of million of Americans and prevented those Americans from being trapped into a system of pseudo-slavery. Once reconstruction ended Jim Crow came into place and led to the deaths and subjugation of black people in this country for another hundred years. For three, the idea that reconstruction government’s economic policy has any substantial effect on the modern day economy is pretty silly, they really did not do very much to harm the Southern economy other than ending slavery. Since then, the Southern economy has gotten better at certain times and gotten worse, it’s not like it’s just flatlined since reconstruction. Regardless, before slavery ended, the South was always economically backwards, and both black people and poor whites languished in poverty. Finally I feel like even if there was any evidence of substantial financial damage during that period, it would be much more realistically attributable to the fact that the South was just the center of the largest war in our nation’s history. That usually isn’t great for the economy.

@@ExtremelyTriggered-tl4nv For one. Yes I agree that Joh Browns role in starting the war and eventually freeing the slaves is exaggerated. As his fans do need to find a way to make his life filled with nothing but terrorism and failure, actually mean anything. Nonetheless, if they are going to give him credit for something so significant, then all the consequences of it would have to be his doing as well by their own logic. For two. I never once claimed that Reconstruction was bad because it freed the slaves or tried to enforce civil rights. I don’t think I need to elaborate anymore on a point I never made As for the southern economy before and after the war, while it’s true southern planters made one of the richest demographics, they didn’t have all the wealth in the south, and it was far from being economically backwards since 7 of the ten states with the bigger per capita of wealth (which accounts for the individual wealth of every member of a population) joined the confederacy. But the devastation of the war and the reconstruction policies such as the discriminatory federal budget, the protective tariffs on cotton, and the panic of 1873 caused by the Union Pacific railroad lead to lasting and disproportionate impoverishment in the south up to the 50s. This also leaves out the fact that racist voter discrimination and segregation were not unique to the South at the time. At the end of the War only five New England states with tiny black populations permitted blacks to vote. Connecticut, Minnesota, and Wisconsin rejected black suffrage in 1865. Kansas did so in 1867 as did Michigan and Missouri in 1868 and New York declined to repeal property requirements for black voters in 1869. The real reason as to why the radical republicans pushed for voting rights in the south was to create a strong voting base for the still young party. Even William T Sherman himself said as much: “I have never heard a negro ask for . . . [voting rights] . . . and I think it would be his ruin . . . I believe the whole idea of giving votes to the negroes is to create just that many votes to be used by others for political uses . . .”

Heroes for one group are often villians of another. john brown was a hero because he fought to free black people and end the idea of slavery. Immediate abolition was the right thing just like ending genocide in Sudan and Palestine. The reality is some things that are right will be ignored as long as they dont make the right people money or power and they will make sure the status quo never changes. It takes the likes of John Brown, Nat Turner, Harriet Tubman and others who fight that system despite being outlaws. When freedom and justice are against the law, the free and just will be outlaws.

The problem is that he killed innocent civilians who had nothing to do with slavery just because they were white Southerners, and his end-goal was the death of all whites in the South (the Haitian slave revolt rap ed and killed all the French in Haiti). I would argue that he actually set Abolition back by a long way, and contributed to the tensions that would lead to the Civil War rather than a peaceful Abolition.

@@IamMeHere2See I agree. Slavery is too profitable for it to simply become obsolete economically (and even if plantation slavery went away, house slavery would have remained). But I don't agree with John Brown's actions at all. I think that a peaceful resolution to the problem could have been achieved. (Like how Wilberforce pushed for years in the House of Commons for the abolition of slavery, and despite heavy opposition from the slavery lobby, and the anti-reform zeitgeist in the face of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars, he eventually succeeded because his cause was just). I think that if some effort went into industrialising the South so that all the wealth and power were not concentrated in the hands of plantation owners, slavery could have been abolished eventually and with great struggle.

The Haitian slaves shouldn't have killed their masters' children, but I am not going to condemn them for it. Multiple lifetimes of bondage and cruelty can turn a human into a resentful person, after all. Yes, children should never be targeted, but what is the more prolific evil here? Slavery wasn't a reaction to the savage murder of children.

The issue is that the kids were taught to use arms and entitlement to own slaves in case of parent's death. Yes, kids were taught to fight to defend their "property".

John Brown was and still is an incredibly complex figure. On the one hand, he wanted to end an oppressive institution what was indeed an affront against God, a living hell for the slaves, and a hindrance on the development of the South as a whole. On the other, the acts he committed to advance his cause of ending slavery were brutal. Violence may sometimes be necessary to achieve a goal but violence should be directed at the right people and not at civilians with little to no stake in slavery. He should have solely been going after slaveholders, if anyone at all.

Even if states further west went with them, like Ohio, it doesn't really help matters. Then there's how the union would have most of the resources that the North did in our timeline. 2) Would this form of the Union even fight them? Because if the North leaves that means that a Democrat is in office, and if the Southern Democrats left to form the Confederacy for (along with slavery for their financial backers) States Rights, then they would be more willing to let the meddling North leaves, as they would have seen it as their right to do so.

It’s easy to say playing nice or respecting traditions could have helped but realistically the south would have rebelled again if they weren’t crippled and broken so viciously and whether or not a southern man lead the union forces or not, they were NEVER given the option to take anything but defeat fter 4 years of a country shattering war and in the long term, the north was correct in suppressing the confederates as much as they did

They refused, due mainly to the fact that they had been fighting for their independence for over a year by this point and the Grand Army of the Potomac was no closer to Richmond then than when the war started.

Brown suffers from present’s view of the past. His ideals of abolishing slavery were right and so people today look at that good ideal first and foremost. They didn’t have first hand experience with how he went about abolishing slavery and thus no stake in his actions. Looking at people during Brown’s time show even the most adamant abolitionist for his time highly disagreed and condemned Brown’s actions. The more we move away from historical events/characters the easier it is for most people to forgive actions and praise ideals.

Keep in mind this wasn't even isolated event among abolition, some of the more prominent and wealthy individuals in New England abolitionist movement had a group own as the "secret six" who openly fund John Browns operation in Kansas. Many of these same individuals after the civil war and slavery was abolish would later also turn to starting the first socialist societies in America.

It’s also worth noting that Robert E. Lee was not a dogmatic supporter of the institution of slavery. In fact, he personally confessed to wanting to see it come to an end. His main issue was with the radicals of the abolitionist movement - such as John Brown - who wanted to end slavery with violence rather than letting the south end it of its own accord. If anything, John Brown’s actions did the opposite of what they were supposed to do; it made the south less willing to bring an end to the institution rather than more willing.

Well, it doesn't matter if he was a dogmatic supporter or not. He made his informed decision. He decided to betray the (at the time "these") United States of America when side his state of Virginia took part in it in a multi-state insurrection. To form the Confederacy and leave the rest of the United States as a rump state.

Yes a Southern apologist would focus on "the law" even though you probably happily go along with the blatant twisting of the law that allowed SCOTUS to overturn Roe for moral reasons. And of course you see someone like Brown who saw Slavery as an abomination (similar to how many today see abortion) and saw laws that upheld such a moral abomination as immoral and thus not really valid. I wonder what political movement today sees themselves as only beholden to God as they read in the Bible? Abolition was a noble goal. Anyone who disagrees is simply a shill for southern apologists who say that the Civil War wasn't about slavery. Of course you can criticize him. But the US is and was a country built on genocide (wounded knee, trail of tears, etc.) as well as slavery. Not mention plenty of corporate thievery. But you are also correct that there is also good to be taken from US history - the Declaration, defeating Hitler and Japan, free public libraries, free public schools, labor unions, grangers, creating and supporting NATO, moon landings, ending communism in the USSR and more.

I visited his Cabin in Lake Placid. It was part of a project funded by a Utica Businessesman to train black farmers to run their own farm, but it was a harsh environment, considered one of the furthest northern places to farm without a greenhouse. It was one of many efforts. There's a place called Boonsville and Dutch Pattent named after a Dutch businessman who wanted to replace cane sugar grown by slaves with maple sugar, but didn't realize how seasonal maple sugar was. Upstate New York was a hotbed of abolitionism. There's a couple houses in the town. I grew up, East Greenbush, that we're used in the underground railroad.
