  • Summary: The Trial Of John Brown

    1152 Words  | 5 Pages

    Arguably, one can state that John Brown was a righteous martyr who died for the cause of the abolition movement. His letters to his wife and kids from prison back this claim: “I feel no consciousness of guilt” (John Brown’s Letters to his wife, Letter dated October 31). In another letter, he describes his sentencing as, “I am waiting the hour of my public murder” (Brown’s Letters to his wife, Letter dated November 30). Nonetheless, despite his moral justification for murder, John Brown was not a martyr; instead, he was a brutal terrorist who would stop at nothing to make a political statement. Brown’s thoughts surrounding slavery can be traced back to his childhood: John Brown was born into a family of slavery-hating devout Calvinists (The Trial of John Brown: A Commentary 1).
