John Brown...Murderer or Martyr?


I think that John Brown is a murderer. I think this because Brown had this plan to start a slave uprising, that would apparently help the slaves escape. He wanted to hand out and distribute weapons to enslaved African Americans and have them join him and fight with him. Instead of getting many slaves to join him, John was left with just him and his sons to fight. Together, John and his sons captured 60 people, and murdered 5 men and boys. This was wrong of John Brown to do, and although he wanted slavery to end, he should not have tried to end it with violence. In the end, he did not even stop slavery because of his act of violence.
