John Brown an extreme abolitionist would stop at nothing to end slavery. Some might say he is a terrorist. He had a plan to break into a armory and get guns for the southern slaves so he can lead a slave rebellion but before this he killed five people at a creek with his five sons. He led the raid and he hoped that when the word got out that slaves would join him and his five sons, but when they went in, no slaves joined and it was basically a suicide mission. They wouldn’t go down without a fight, but then Colonel Robert E. Lee sent in troops and he was caught and went to prison. His sons died and he was sentenced to death on December 2 1859. To me John Brown is martyr because he fought for the cause of slavery and fought for his beliefs.
