Where r the John Browns?!

HISTORY FOOTNOTE:

John H. Brown (a non-pacifist revolutionary figure in the pre-Civil War abolitionist movement) seized the largest Federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, in October of 1859. He forced the citizens of the United States to reconsider the immorality of the institution of slavery and the injustices enforced by the government. He gave land to fugitive slaves. He and his wife agreed to raise a black youth as one of their own. He also participated in the Underground Railroad and, in 1851, and helped establish the League of Gileadites, an organization that worked to protect escaped slaves from slave catchers… Brown was convicted for treason, murder, and inciting enslaved people to revolt and was hanged. On the day of his execution, 16 months before the outbreak of the Civil War, John Brown prophetically wrote, “The crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood.”

 HERE ARE SOME MORE OF HIS QUOTES:

“...Slavery, throughout its entire existence in the United States is none other than a most barbarous, unprovoked, and unjustifiable War of one portion of its citizens upon another portion; the only conditions of which are perpetual imprisonment, and hopeless servitude or absolute extermination; in utter disregard and violation of those eternal and self-evident truths set forth in our Declaration of Independence." - John Brown

"I acknowledge no master in human form." - John Brown.

“I bring you one of the best and bravest persons on this continent — General Tubman as we call her." - John Brown.

"...if it is deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life for the furtherance of the ends of justice, and mingle my blood further with the blood of my children and with the blood of millions in this slave country whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel, and unjust enactments, I submit..." - John Brown

P.S. Fredrick Douglas on John Brown: "The true question is, Did John Brown draw his sword against slavery and thereby lose his life in vain? And to this I answer TEN THOUSAND TIMES, NO! No man fails, or can fail, who so grandly gives himself and all he has to a righteous cause.”

B.P.S. Mr. Brown said it best: “I have only a short time to live, ONLY ONE DEATH TO DIE, and I will die fighting for this cause. There will be no peace in this land until slavery is done for!”  EXACT SENTIMENTS… from the Lookout Post.
