Why does nobody called Robert E. Lee a crazed terrorist?
rite….
The end does not justify the means. He was a terrorist and a bad man.
O yeah the more I learn about this man the more I want to know!!!
The Founding Fathers: “Golly I wish we could help the slaves but it would challenge things.” John Brown: “bitch I will kill you slaveholders.”
The narrator sounds like Dr. David Blight.
He was a misguided cult leader who got his family and friends killed. He was fool hearty and insane. His followers were cultists who could not run far away enough from his crazy plans.

The best 14+ minutes of a short story of John Brown I ever saw on TH-cam!! Sir, your delivery really made this video great. Thank you. Sorry sorry. I digress. John Brown beliefs are way to complicated in his life, he believed- You live by the sword, you die by the sword!
"Some called him a hero, others called him a criminal madman.".....let's cut the crap. He was a hero, and the only folks who thought otherwise were damned slavers and the poor, dumb bastards who were brainwashed into believing the lies of damned slavers.
Was John (lokn lika mni Lincoln) Brown Jewish by chance? Untold American history to which a wondering mind carries much burden decoding individual history.......
Thank you John Brown.
You don't fight monsters with angels. You fight monsters with a different type of monster.

The calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear. If you are a terrorist then you can't be a angel
@@rangar6853 did I not just say that? Read what I said again. Also John Brown attacked military/government facilities too
@@dorianvujica3946 In short he was massive terrorist maniac before 9/11
TRAGIC PRELUDE by John Steuart Curry : th-cam.com/video/rKwIJXAnLTw/w-d-xo.html Good presentation.
In Kansas John Brown has big respect. He had sculpture there and in Topeka there is the (I think World Famouse) famouse mural "THE TRAGIC PRELUDE" by John Steuart Curry. The Kansas University supporters (Jayhawkers) use the John Brown symbols against the Missouri University supporters in the stadium. Kansas became free state against the slavery system state Missouri proslavery bushwackers. John Brown had lion's share in the triumph of the free state settlers in the Bleeding Kansas.
John Brown, Crazed Terrorist or American Hero? *YES*
People whine a lot about 'politcal correctness', especially certain right wingers from a certain news outlet. But nobody seems to being up the worst instance of actual mealy-mouthed political correctness: to even suggest that JB was anything other than a moral man, not a 'terrorist' or 'madman'.
He was terrorist and a madman
Maybe he was neither. But he was a man who did what he felt he had to do and he fought for what he believed in.
James McBride novel The Good Lord Bird…
Blight's assessment of Brown is a little lacking, and he should consult with Brown's most prolific biographer, Lou DeCaro, who did a good reaction video to this presentation by Blight. You can watch it here: th-cam.com/video/OV6GOH8Pslc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MYkN1CbhUANS52rf A good explainer by the John Brown Project, here: th-cam.com/video/AOAhK1dSVDU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rRDEBq7x7MvC34jf -- "Was John Brown A Terrorist?" (Heck, No.)
its absurd to even entertain the "crazed terrorist" notion.
Both?
John Brown growing his beard out to embody Moses is incredible especially when you see his impact in retrospect.
Great video. I use it with my social studies students. I'm pretty sure the professor is saying "rite of purification" not "right of purification" at 2:33.
John Brown was a rebel with A CAUSE; though a bit unorthodox, he initiated a fight for freedom that was a constant flame that burned in the torcher hearts of the enslaved. He was determined and passionate. Some may even say obsessive. It was a seed in him that would grow but not fully blossom to its potential, but a seed that never died. Love him or hate him, he was a fearless, focused revolutionary who was more than willing to shed his own blood to break the chains of bondage.
His violence paled in comparison to what Europeans did to Native Americans. This country sacrifices many of our young men and women with every war we engage in; politicians like to justify it by saying they're fighting for democracy. Well, isn't war violent......is it a cause worth fighting for.....
They were the inception to the Civil War; Brown and the others gave up their lives so people like me could be free. John Brown will always be my hero. Thank you John Brown!
Hero The fact there is any debate on this is astounding
Every black American needs two pictures in there house Jesus the black one and John brown l👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Fanatic abolitionists made the Southern slave owners more entrenched. They became worried about violence.
This man believe had courage and sacrifice a lot wake up people and he was white so what that tell u they play us against each other
John Brown was an Old Testament guy you stated. Is his morality better than the god of the book he worshipped?? Did he read it or not give a F? Because he stated slavery is a great sin against god🤷🏾♂️. I would say a bit of both with a whole lot of empathy and retribution and you have John Brown 💯
H. E. R. O.
Hero ❤❤❤❤
My one gripe about this otherwise balanced video is that John Brown was not universally lauded by Northern abolitionists. Nathaniel Hawthorne who is arguably the most famous abolitionists in American history, said after John Brown's death; "never was a man more justly hanged"
Thank you for making this video which shows the real John Brown, The Good The bad and The ugly, in an age where saying anything that doesn't deify the man will get you falsely labeled as a racist or a lost causer.
Terrorism to one is patriotism to the other
John Brown offered himself up as a living sacrifice for what he believed in, just like Jesus Christ. No wonder it struck such a resonant chord within our Christian nation. John Brown was a man of action, and he was sick and tired of all this talk and compromise around the slavery issue - he had the courage and moral conviction to tackle it head on - with action.
A little bit of each as far as I'm concerned.
I love the way this guy reads the narration. It's marvelous and sarcastic but solemn.
John Brown was a hero. Period.
He ultimately did more harm than good to his cause
Hero. Let's not forget that MLK was also labeled as a terrorist and so was Jesus.
MLK didn't hack people to death and leave their dismembered body parts on the doorsteps of their family members. Also of the five people murdered at the Pottawatomie Creek massacre, not one of them owned slaves. John Brown's heart may have been in the right place but he ultimately did far more harm than good to his cause.
If violence can be justified for “religious “ purposes it can be justified for a moral purpose . This nation was founded on that very thing
Nero ❤
I consider him an American hero! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
John Brown, the "Hero" who fought for Black Americans. Forever a Legend!
JOHN BROWN EST UN HEROS JOHN BROWN WAS THE ONLY RIGHT MAN IN YOUR COUNTRY OF RACISTS NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE LIKE THIS MAN IN THE WORLD FOR FIGHTING THE WHITE RACISTS
I think it is shortsighted to mention the caning of Charles Sumner (22 May 1856) as a catalyst for the Pottawatomie massacre (24 May 1856) while not mentioning the sacking of Lawrence (21 May 1856).
What John Brown did is completely different from monstrous KKK domestic terrorist acts, Ted Kaczynski, and Timothy Mcveigh *If anything, he could be ranked with William Wallace from Scotland or Joan of Arc from France. Perhaps even closer to or higher than Daniel Shays (whose rebellion lead the creation of US Constitution when America was weak with government's disunity and disorganization at its birth) and Whiskey Rebellion (questioning federal government's powers especially on taxations) since Brown's crusade eventually had people talking about slavery issue more than before*
William Wallace was also a terrorist. He wasn't a freedom fighter, he was a mercenary who turned on the crown when he felt he wasn't getting paid enough. John Brown was no doubt a better man whose heart was in the right place, but ultimately did far more harm than good to his cause.
I wonder why they never taught us about John Brown in school .?
