John Brown is in my opinion a murderer. He killed multiple people for his beliefs and he could of found other ways. He thought he was doing the holy thing by helping slaves escape and to fight beside them. He had the right idea I think but did the wrong thing. He killed people so therefore he is a murderer and even though he died he made other people die first so he is a murderer. His plan was not very thought out and that's why it failed but that nonetheless considers him a martyr. A martyr is someone who is killed because they believe things that other people don’t. He may fit some of the qualifications to be one but he still killed multiple people so he is a murderer. His original goal was to get revenge on the pro-slavery people back in Kansas by the creek and that is definitely not holy in my opinion.
I liked how you explained why you thought he was a murder, by saying that he killed other people first. I agree with the fact that he fits some of the qualifications to be a martyr, but he also did some other bad things that a martyr wouldn't do.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! You explained why you thought he was a murderer, and that made your opinion really strong! Great job! :)
