John Brown is an honorary founding father imo. Even most of the founders admitted that slavery had to end, but were too afraid to do what was necessary to end it. John Brown came to do what they left unfinished.
That and the founding fathers obviously had to somehow keep everyone from breaking off in an instant if they were to make any too political argument having statement that would get everyone riled up against each other regarding slavery.
And when the sun is one to try to do to him what they did to that Turner that's when God Unleashed his Wrath and dust that was the day the Civil War begins took a long time but the southern folks including their descendants realize they fucked up the moment they hung John Brown
The founders saw the institution of slavery coming to an end because slavery was mainly used for tobacco/rice farming which was rapidly leaching the soil after 200+ years of use. They thought it would be over in a couple of generations but (like most things with the founders) they didn't see the possibility of changes and the invention of the cotton gin made slavery far more profitable than they ever could have known.
The founding fathers were slavers. It makes no sense to idolize them _and_ John Brown. Slavery was no more acceptable in the 18th century than it was in the 19th, no matter what white supremacist, settler-colonial propaganda Americans are conditioned to roll out in defense of those scumbags. John Brown is taking pot shots from a cloud at George Washington burning in a pit. I mean, not really of course, but those monsters were why John Brown had to be John Brown to begin with: They don't deserve respect, and it is to besmirch John Brown to put him together with those villains
No. It (re)creates the lie that you have to be a mad man to hold the view that Black and White people are exactly equal and that any diminution of the humanity of a Black person is a curse and a stain upon humanity to be purged with just violence. Brown was not crazy, or a fool. He was a fanatic, but a fanatic on the side of justice, far, far ahead of his time. We still haven't caught up with his sense of humanity. Long way to go. Showing Brown in this light as it is here, oppposes he truth of Brown and puts in place a comfortable lie that keeps you on the couch, and complicit in the injustice you participate in and benefit from.
The way he timed that righteous speech with the fuse, to end and have his antagonist pop up when finished speaking to run right into that cannon fire was simply... Divine.
The best part of this scene is Brown doesn't even know the cannon is there, he wasn't trying to bait him out or anything man was just nuts, and yet he managed to be the sanest man in America.
John brown was ready to die at any encounter and that’s why I love him so much. The people who followed him were either to get on board or perish regardless. Brave and great man.
And probably the scene that earns Ethan Hawke of a sweep in the Best Actor in a Miniseries at the awards shows. If he doesn't get the nod, it'll be highway robbery. He was spellbinding as John Brown. Those passion in those eyes that burns right through you were what really drew me in. You can look at actual pictures of John Brown and see that same look.
@@cmonman7990 That speech, too, is just...... watched it last night for probably the 20th time, and had tears streaming down my face when he gave that speech to Owen.
I don’t know who first realized how well Ethan Hawke does vulnerability, but the minute he stopped playing matinee idols he was great. He’s on fire here, and the story so needs to be told-especially now.
@@ifragpsn6431 Gattaca is great. Ethan Hawke is the underrated actor of the last couple decades. And while The Magnificent Seven isn't a lot of people's favorite movie, he plays the PTSD of Goodnight Robicheaux excellently. Jack Valentine in Lord of War, Jake in Training Day, and of course Gattaca as ... (checks IMBD) Vincent.
@@aethertech Yeah he really made M7 feel more gritty. Whereas the rest of the cast were larger than life and full of swagger, he went the complete other direction, it really balanced that out nicely.

I always picture John at the tail end of the fight at Harper's Ferry, half dead and bleeding out, snapping hammers down on dry chambers as those federals close in on him. Man started maybe the only righteous war in modern history. I wish I had his heart.
@@freshprince69 It still would have been abolished... in time. It just would have taken longer. Lincoln merely accelerated the timeline. So did John Brown. Both men had their role to play. Without Brown taking one for the team, the time frame for abolishing slavery probably gets pushed back several years minimum.
Actually both John Brown and Abraham Lincoln were human men, examples of homo sapians sapians. A Homo sapians is a type of primate that share a common ancestor with apes
John Brown was more than that... He was a good man, and a mad man. A man of both God and Gunpowder. A Zealot and Abolishonist. Sometimes it takes a 'Zealot' to turn the wheels of fate, For we cannot expect The Lord to do all the work. . .
@@centristcommisar7828 im not sure he did anything mad? he was correct that slavery could not end but by violence, and used proven slave revolt tactics. his plan got hit by a perfect storm, but he made the best logical and moral decision.
John Brown - Father of 20, could recite the Bible Cover to Cover, and saw EVERYONE as equals. Fought and died for a truly righteous cause to end slavery and preserve equality. Money wasn’t his motive. Power wasn’t what he was after. Only the Word of his God was his true calling. He truly was the Ultimate American Gigachad!
I would say he was perfectly sane. What is vile is how most of his countrymen acted. At best passively doing nothing about it. At worst, profiting by it. They all called him a monster and hung him. His statue ought to have a place of honor in Harper's Ferry, not that vile Confederate slab libeling Brown.
Watching this series, I found myself forgetting that that's actually Ethan Hawke, not John Brown. Very few top dollar actors can totally lose themselves in a role like that. Very good acting and a very, very good series!
My man, the absolute Legend, the wielder of massive cannonballs between his legs didn’t even fire a shot, for he knew the Lord was watching him from bullets
"Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle" -Psalm 144:1 John Brown was soooo inconceivably based. Rest in power, you absolute Chad.
I liked this series because it exposed me to a part of American history I didn't previously know about. I've read about the Civil War, but I never heard of Bleeding Kansas or the Kansas-Missouri border conflict. After watching this, I started looking up information about the different factions involved, like the Free-Staters, the bushwhackers/border ruffians (in the series they're called "Red Shirts") and the Jayhawkers. Interesting fact: John Brown is considered an early Jayhawker or forerunner of the Jayhawkers. I'm not from the Midwest, so there was no incentive for me to learn about this before. But it's such interesting history! And after finishing this series, I've been watching movies like "Ride with the Devil" and "The Outlaw Josey Wales" to better understand all the different sides of this conflict.
Red Legs were the ones I was familiar with, in part due to the "Outlaw Josey Wales" movie. Glad you're looking into this material, because it's fascinating how complex and messy it all gets. Most every war gets a bunch of opportunists hanging around on the literal fringes looking to make a killing (sadly, in a very literal sense).
I'm from Kansas. Missouri raiders (Quantrill's band of terrorists) killed some of my ancestors when they burned Lawrence. Kansans and Missourians still hate each other. That's why I understand when there are people like those in Northern Ireland or Palestine who hate those who did them wrong in the past. Our two states might be contiguous but we are very different people. You'll see Confederate flag bumper stickers and actual flags all over many parts of Missouri; they're rare in Kansas and usually the sign of a transplant from the South. If you ever visit the state capitol building in Topeka, check out the John Steuart Curry "Tragic Prelude" mural depicting John Brown as a Biblical prophet of the Apocalypse.
They could always do a season based on the events post-Harper's Ferry, of the events leading to the Civil War. Onion was a fictional character, so they could do whatever they want with him. Maybe he could go on to become an outspoken abolitionist, later to serve in a black brigade in the Civil War. A few key figures like Owen Brown, survived the raid and led interesting lives. I believe Owen and two other raiders went on to serve in the Union army during the Civil War.
John brown was a fucking madman, mad man with good intentions, but an absolute mad lad, I remembered seeing his name while learning about bleeding Kansas and thinking that would be the last time I'd read his name in AP US history, just some crazed guerrilla fighter. But boy was I fucking wrong we got to the Harper's ferry incident and I immediately realized the man was back at it.
@@night4345 yah. He was also kinda wierd, but just like you pointed out.... Everyone was kinda fucked up in one way or another. Which is why I said "mad" as apposed to what?
Honestly, I think he was just completely immersed in the holy Spirit. I don't think he ever did anything that someone could consider mad. The only thing that seemed insane to him was the fact that he didn't see black people as below him, which I definitely believe people saw as a mental illness back then. Truthfully, he was doing what every good Christian should have been doing when living in a country that allows slavery. Especially the type of slavery the south was using, which despite thousands of years of slavery is probably the worst form that can exist. The man knew that the south was never going to allow slaves to go free without blood, and good Christians should always be ready too volunteer it be his blood before anyone else's.
All it takes is a BRIEF honest examination of the evil and brutality inflicted through American slavery to know not only was the violence in opposition and offense to it necessary but deserved.
He was a violent man, a crazy man and was borderline a terrorist. Yet he was a man of genuine integrity and righteousness. You can tell that he was a man who genuinely believed in the evils of the chattel slavery system and believed in the equality of man. I’m just sad he didn’t get to see slavery end in the United States. I’m not the kind to promote violent uprisings but John was right in the end, slavery in america was ended with violence as depressing as that fact is.
Its ethans ability to lose himself here that hits me. Notice his vocal escalation between "im here in the name of the great.... REDEEMER!!!" its so palpible. He doesnt care if he survives this encounter, hes ready to die where he stands. My generation got lucky with a depection of John Brown this visceral and certain in his cause, and only Ethan could portray it as such.

If you ever visit the state capitol building in Topeka, check out the John Steuart Curry "Tragic Prelude" mural depicting John Brown as a Biblical prophet of the Apocalypse.
I love learning things like that in comments like these, you guys have fascinating lives and stories!
Read The Cornerstone speech to find out what the south truly wanted, they were truly devils.
I’m surprised it wasn’t taught to you in US History class, I know we went over it in there.
That man was a Paladin.
Oath of Freedom, even.
Frank Heffley got really serious with his civil war reenactment hobby
Such a brilliant series. Ethan hawke is incredible and what a range he shows
Such an amazing series! This was by far my favorite scene, although there were plenty to love. I only wish there was a way to have more seasons!
Bring back John Brown from the dead and we could have a 2020 season
@@sushikazuki5945 they could continue the story with little onion.
@@warriorking1486 Ahh, true. the guy would need to write another book, though
@@sushikazuki5945 no, little onion is a fictional character so they can continue the story with him
They could always do a season based on the events post-Harper's Ferry, of the events leading to the Civil War. Onion was a fictional character, so they could do whatever they want with him. Maybe he could go on to become an outspoken abolitionist, later to serve in a black brigade in the Civil War. A few key figures like Owen Brown, survived the raid and led interesting lives. I believe Owen and two other raiders went on to serve in the Union army during the Civil War.
John brown was a fucking madman, mad man with good intentions, but an absolute mad lad, I remembered seeing his name while learning about bleeding Kansas and thinking that would be the last time I'd read his name in AP US history, just some crazed guerrilla fighter.
But boy was I fucking wrong we got to the Harper's ferry incident and I immediately realized the man was back at it.
I mean mad relative to what? Think of the times he lived in.
@@SerfsUp1848 He was one of the few that saw the inherent insanity of keeping human beings as slaves.
@@night4345 yah. He was also kinda wierd, but just like you pointed out.... Everyone was kinda fucked up in one way or another. Which is why I said "mad" as apposed to what?
Sigmar protects.
Honestly, I think he was just completely immersed in the holy Spirit.
I don't think he ever did anything that someone could consider mad. The only thing that seemed insane to him was the fact that he didn't see black people as below him, which I definitely believe people saw as a mental illness back then.
Truthfully, he was doing what every good Christian should have been doing when living in a country that allows slavery. Especially the type of slavery the south was using, which despite thousands of years of slavery is probably the worst form that can exist.
The man knew that the south was never going to allow slaves to go free without blood, and good Christians should always be ready too volunteer it be his blood before anyone else's.
This Scene gives me goosebumps every time I see it. God bless Captain John.
Wow… you destroyed that guy without even touchin’ ‘im.
John Brown Was a North African Berber
The guy walking in the back, after the blast: "Yep. That seems about right..."
Zahn brought a gun to a cannon fight.
I like how he stood there like "oh shit I'm dead" and then popped like a water balloon.
Spine tingling scene, Ethan's back!
John Brown. What a true American hero. We need more of him and less of these Little Dylan Roofs.
Didn't know they made a series on him I gotta see it. Man was a true hero of his time
This show deserves more love and recognition
What show?
@@Beer_viking The Good Lord Bird
Thank you Robert
Never test the will and fury of a tired, good man.
All it takes is a BRIEF honest examination of the evil and brutality inflicted through American slavery to know not only was the violence in opposition and offense to it necessary but deserved.
“Ahhhhhhoooooh….”
I think that would probably be the reaction of anyone running straight out into canon fire.
"And you are on the side of chains!!!" Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Hawke is so underrated.
He was a violent man, a crazy man and was borderline a terrorist. Yet he was a man of genuine integrity and righteousness. You can tell that he was a man who genuinely believed in the evils of the chattel slavery system and believed in the equality of man. I’m just sad he didn’t get to see slavery end in the United States.
I’m not the kind to promote violent uprisings but John was right in the end, slavery in america was ended with violence as depressing as that fact is.
I didn’t believe in holy men until John brown
Best hes ever delivered. A true masterpiece in acting.
Resurrect John Brown and give 'em a goddamn battle mech ❤❤❤
Just visited John browns grave in the Adirondacks long live jb
Pay attention conservatives, this is what a REAL CHRISTIAN looked like.
@NathanLongacre-jo6cxa hero *
The most based person in American history
If anyones wondering, the shows called “The good Lord bird”
"Brown! Death is coming for you today!"
Death: Do you think I'm stupid or crazy?
Ethan hawke as hes become older just looks like he loves in a western style setting for film. He plays roles in that era so damn well.
Its ethans ability to lose himself here that hits me. Notice his vocal escalation between "im here in the name of the great.... REDEEMER!!!" its so palpible. He doesnt care if he survives this encounter, hes ready to die where he stands. My generation got lucky with a depection of John Brown this visceral and certain in his cause, and only Ethan could portray it as such.
Start a thread with me.
John Brown's body lies a-moldering in the grave...
A-molderin in the grave
A-molderin in the grave~
And his soul goes marching on!
That guy is a true legend
Man was too based for the time.
Oh hey its the videogame guntuber
Based and John Brown-pilled
I have never heard or seen this show and I instantly wanna watch it now
It’s good to see Greg Heffley’s dad finally got to fight in the civil war.
Unfortunately he actually missed it since this scene is set in 1850s Kansas, before the Civil War
"GYAT, FOR HES ON THE SIDE OF JUSTICE" 💀
John Brown was the greatest white man who ever lived.
*john brown- **_"GREATEST WHITE MAN THAT EVER LIVED". "GREATEST AMERICAN"._*
Damn Mr. Heffley went out like his civil war reenactment.
How havent I seen this until now! This is AMAZING!
He had time to move yet he just stood there.
Well he definately got gitten.
Now this is an ally
Abolitionist intent intensifies
Man this series was F amazing
