Supplying the slaves with weapons was a good idea, but did not turn out they way he wanted. Everyone messes up, but he still had this plan to try and help free slaves.

  • Why Was John Brown Considered A Hero?

    221 Words  | 1 Pages

    In my opinion during the 1800’s, John Brown was considered a hero. He was raised in a religious household and fought for what he believed in, which was all men should be treated equal. Brown was born in Connecticut, but was raised in Ohio and learned early-on in life to hate slavery. His upbringing gave him the courage to develop a plan to create an army that would arm slaves with weapons with would eventually end slavery. His goal was to attract slaves as he moved along to the Appalachian Mountains, until slavery could no longer support the system of bondage.

  • To What Extent Was John Brown A Hero Or A Traitor

    995 Words  | 4 Pages

    A vast amount of John Brown’s fellow whites regarded him as a traitor because he associated with slaves. Moderates regarded him as an extremist and fanatic in the view of his action in the Pottawatomie massacre and the raids on Harper's Ferry. Due to the same actions, part of the slave population regarded him as a hero. I argue that the motive why he was and still is portrayed as both, hero and terrorist is more profound than just an association. If Brown was a radical slave owner most of his actions would have obtained praise, as those actions will maintain the power within most of the white community.

I believe that Nathaniel Bacon was a traitor because he went against his government and manipulated the colonists to believe what he wanted him to believe so that he could get what he wanted. He had tried to take control not for the better of his people but for his own personal gain. Bacon’s Rebellion was an American Revolutionary movement for the American colonies because it involved an act against the government, which was a cry for independence, and removal of the Indians.

    Indigenous Australians, in many states, were denied full citizenship on grounds of their race. Migration laws were set up at every opportunity to support "white" European outsiders to Australia.
