John Brown: Martyr or Murder?
A martyr is someone who is killed because of their religious beliefs. I think John Brown is a murderer, not a martyr. He was a bad man with good intentions. “He thinks he is Jesus's ‘chosen one’”. He wants to free the slaves, but he murders so many people. “He wants to lead a slave rebellion” Brown was killed for breaking in and killing other people, and he knew it was a suicide mission. When soldiers got there, he tried killing them to escape but he couldn’t. Instead, he gets thrown in jail and hanged. John sacrificed his sons' lives just for this cause. I don’t think it is fair for him to sacrifice his sons' lives because they were still young, and he knew that it was a suicide mission, so why did he do it? That is why John Brown is a murderer.

I agree with your opinion too! I like your title because people will wonder what you think and they will want to read it. Also, great evidence to support your opinion.
ReplyDeleteI really like your blog. But I do disagree with the part that you said he was a bad man with good intentions. I think that he was a "good" man, with "bad" intentions.
ReplyDeleteIsabella, I agree with your blog. I also think that it was crazy that he used his sons, that he actually cared about. To lead the rebellion with him.
