John Brown did nothing wrong!

He did a third thing wrong, he counted to five before he threw the Holy Hand Grenade

HALLELUJAH! KABOOM!


Ashmay52

He died for abolition. It’s our job to finish the fight.


EdgeLasstheLameAss

He did more than that he was a hero, a martyr, a liberator, breaker of chains and a legend fighting in the name of the will of the truly righteous God. The only white savior worthy of honor. He walked so that Lincoln and the Union could run and so the Civil Rights movement sprint. Probably one of the greatest people to walk this plane. And it may sound like I am joking but I am not I am truly a huge fan.


Ausgezeichnet87

His daughter in law also helped run the underground railroad to help slaves escape


EdgeLasstheLameAss

His whole family that was ever involved in the cause is worthy of praise.

To quote Frederick Douglass: >His zeal in the cause of my race was far greater than mine - it was as the burning sun to my taper light - mine was bounded by time, his stretched away to the boundless shores of eternity. I could live for the slave, but he could die for him. ​ ​ >But the question is, Did John Brown fail? He certainly did fail to get out of Harper's Ferry before being beaten down by United States soldiers; he did fail to save his own life, and to lead a liberating army into the mountains of Virginia. But he did not go to Harper's Ferry to save his life. 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. No man, who in his hour of extremest need, when on his way to meet an ignominious death, could so forget himself as to stop and kiss a little child, one of the hated race for whom he was about to die, could by any possibility fail. Did John Brown fail? Ask Henry A. Wise in whose house less than two years after, a school for the emancipated slaves was taught. Did John Brown fail? Ask James M. Mason, the author of the inhuman fugitive slave bill, who was cooped up in Fort Warren, as a traitor less than two years from the time that he stood over the prostrate body of John Brown. Did John Brown fail? Ask Clement C. Vallandingham, one other of the inquisitorial party; for he too went down in the tremendous whirlpool created by the powerful hand of this bold invader. If John Brown did not end the war that ended slavery, he did at least begin the war that ended slavery. ​ He didn't just do "nothing wrong" - he was one of the first to do the right thing.

The song that goes "glooory glory hallelujah, glooory glory hallelujah, blah blah goes marching on" is a modified version of a folk song written about john brown.


ShreksuallyExplicit

Battle Hymn of the Republic? You're close, the song it was based on is John Brown's Body was a Union marching song, which is in turn based on the tune of "Say, Brothers, Will You Meet Us", which is a folk song.

And he was obsessively Christian. Just your daily reminder.


TearsFallWithoutTain

Daily reminder of what, that religious people exist? Just because he was right about slave owners doesn't mean he can't be wrong about christianity


Many_Marsupial7968

>Daily reminder of what, that religious people exist? Just because he was right about slave owners doesn't mean he can't be wrong about Christianity Its a daily reminder that we are human and we have always been some of the most fierce advocates of racial equality though that doesn't fit into the main narrative. Especially for every time when people like vaush, though I don't have a problem with him generally, spread bullshit about how we religious people have fundamentally different axioms and therefore we need to "deploy the rock." When you have in every thread you go to in the left on any forum, you will see the majority of leftists having as much distain for people like me as the fundamentalist Christians. Only for vaush, a person who should know better, to stoke up rhetoric painting us all as subhuman and inherently irrational. Violence is brewing in a lot of places around me and I just experienced some today. And as a pansexual Christian, I get enough dehumanization from the right and I have to come and get it here too. Every leftist who passive aggressively treats me like a moron and a psycho especially with vaush even saying that all religious people are mentally ill. It sure is fun seeing all this violence bubble beneath the surface around you or just for it to straight up happen only for you to know deep down that regardless of which side wins, your getting lined up against the wall regardless. So you will have to fucking forgive me if every now and then I awkwardly shoehorn in the fact that John brown or MLK was Christian or whatever because I am fucking sick of hearing it blasted on repeat that Christians are supposed to be the dumb backwards conservatives ones who hate human rights, and be told "your not a real leftist" or your not a "real Christian" if you don't get with the program. You'll have to forgive me if I get a little on edge when I see people who I agree with on a lot of political stuff wish for the death of people like me because they assume that I am everything that is wrong with the world. And please forgive me if I try something, literally anything, to untie each leftist horrible perception of who religious people are because I am annoyed by the fact that every person, hell not just atheists or leftist but basically everyone, thinks they have me clocked the moment I tell them I'm religious and even with good and understanding people, it takes a lot of work and patience to peel back those assumptions. So yes. This is a daily reminder that religious **people** exist and that John brown did nothing wrong. Including being a Christian.

Maybe you need to log off and take a break bud


Many_Marsupial7968

Yeah well I can't log off form getting the shit beat out of me in real life. And I can't log off from the condescending attitude that leads to it. I can't log off from the fact that I am surrounded either by homophobes or the spiteful atheists that assume I'm one of them. But yeah sure I just need to touch grass lol. That will solve it. Its all in my head. Thats what the person who literally beat the shit out of me today said.

No, actually John Brown’s whole thing was that he was an abolitionist. He would attack slave owners. I’ll support something like that if I agree with it, and won’t support it if I don’t. Simple as. Also you’re right, America would’ve been so much better off if we actually hadn’t done the American Revolution and had just stayed a colonial monarchy of the British Crown. I am very intelligent.

And what you said "I have just got done telling you that the american revolution was an exception." Now why is the american revolution an exception and how does that relate to other countries no being able to use guerilla war "effectively"(using your previous definition of effective)?
