I think he is a murder because he killed 5 men . It’s not very good and it’s not a solution to the problem. When people are killing other people it’s really bad. In my opinion he killed 5 men and I don’t like that. If he was a martyr he would not have killed 5 men .

Was John Brown A Martyr
John Brown was a martyr. He went to battle trying to capture slaves and bring them back to the North knowing that he can die. He killed a lot of people but he did it for his cause, because he was a extreme abolitionist. That’s why I think he is a martyr because when he died he died doing something he believes in strongly. He was honored by the North and that's also why he was a martyr.
Martyr or Murderer? The True Story of John Brown
I think that John Brown is a martyr and not a murderer. In my opinion he was a martyr, he died for slaves to be free and went all out for it. He wanted to abolish slavery and he thought god told him the he needed to do it himself. He got his point through to the south that the abolitionists wanted slavery to be abolished and they would not stop until they had the deed done. In his mind he thought it was horrible that human beings were considered as property, and property that was treated very poorly. Overall he was a martyr and is remembered to this day for his actions on the issue of slavery.
To Be a Martyr Or To Be a Murderer
I think that John Brown is a martyr because he wasn’t killing people for no reason he was killing them to help slaves become free people. John Brown was a martyr in the north because the north understood that the slaves shouldn’t be slaves they should be free. The south thinks he is a terrorist because he is trying to stop them from having slaves so they hate him. John Brown is a free person so the southerners can’t tell him what or what not to do. John Brown is allowed to have his own beliefs. If he believed slavery should end, he has a right to try to end it. Also if people want to call him a hero for what he did then they can because they have a right. He is a martyr because he died trying to help end the slave population and turn them free.
John Brown: The Extreme Abolitionist
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.
Is John Brown Truly a Martyr or a Murderer?
In my opinion I think John Brown is a martyr, in the year of 1859 in Harpers Ferry, he says he will not stop to abolish slavery and believes he’s fighting in a holy war. A martyr means a person who is killed because of their religious beliefs. This is exactly what John Brown thought, he believed that slavery was wrong and would stop at nothing until slavery was abolished. He isn’t a murderer since he didn’t kill for no cause but he killed for his own beliefs, and was willing to die for their cause. He was considered a martyr in the North because they know slavery was wrong, while the South considered him as a murderer, but the south back then thought their was nothing wrong with slavery. This is why I think John Brown is a martyr instead of a murderer.
IS JOHN BROWN A MARTYR OR A MURDERER???
I think that John Brown is a murderer because he killed five men because they had different opinions than him. John Brown was so worried and upset about there being slaves that he took it to far and decided the only way to fix this problem is by killing people. Frederick Douglass had once warned John Brown that attacking a federal building was a mistake and would get him killed, but John Brown would do anything to try and stop slavery. John Brown had once said “I John Brown am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood.” The statement John Brown is saying means this problem will never be solved unless there is war.
Was this Extreme Abolitionist, By The Name of John Brown, a Martyr or a Murderer?
John Brown is a true martyr to the North and a dangerous murderer to the South. To me, John Brown is a martyr because I don’t believe in slavery and if I was living in 1859, I would be a free soiler. Even though John Brown heard voices in his head and was a crazy psycho, he was taking action to stand up for what he believed in. John Brown was an extreme abolitionist who went into the south, Harpers Ferry, Virginia at midnight with his 5 sons hoping to start and lead a slave rebellion. It was a suicide mission. The slaves didn’t join in and the locals attacked and trapped Brown. After John Brown and his 5 sons have been killed, John said, “I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood.” This quote means that slavery won’t just vanish, but there will be a war between the states to decide whether Kansas and Nebraska will become a slave state or a free state. This was true and the war over slavery has just begun. To me, John Brown is a martyr. What is he to you? A murderer or a martyr?
John Brown: Killer or Savior?
John Brown was an extreme abolitionist. He became famous for “Bleeding Kansas” attack and the Harper’s Ferry, Virginia attack. He killed almost over 200 white people. He led an attack with his 5 sons on Harper’s Ferry, Virginia and was captured after the townspeople rebelled against him. The US Marines were called in and that finished off John Brown’s rally.
John Brown Murder or Martyr.....
I think John Brown was a murder. He went out and killed 5 men by the creek just because they didn't have the same beliefs as him. It was right that he wanted to fight for what he believed, but killing people is not the religious thing to do. He could of shown his beliefs by writing in the press, or talking to people. He didn't have to bring guns into the fight. He lead a rebellion and killed the people that had different beliefs than him, and that was just the beginning of the fight against slavery.
Martyr John Brown Gets Killed For His Rage Against Slavery
Martyr John Brown gets killed for his rage against slavery. October 1859 in Harpers Ferry, Virginia on a dark night John and his five sons go out to try to arm all southern slaves with rifles to form a rebellion against slavery. Then comes the rebellion night, but no slaves join. John won’t go down without a fight. The military catches John just for his religious beliefs to take revenge on white slaveholders who whip their slaves and may even kill them. He used aggressive techniques to hold this rebellion. He was harsh because he wanted to give worse punishments than they gave to the slaves. He is caught by a soldier and gets put in jail waiting to get executed. He is executed December 2, 1859, as a martyr to remember.
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.
John Brown; Murderer Not Martyr
John Brown would die for his cause. But, he was known as a terrorist to his town and outside of his town. Using the help from his 5 sons, they killed about 5 people. His 5 sons all killed, John Brown was executed for his murdering. The reason why John Brown was killing and hurting people was because he believed that slaves should be free. He was triggered because a group of people who wanted slavery to be a thing burned down a hotel. This made John Brown very mad so this was the revenge that he gave to people. Also, this triggered and had to do with part of the Civil War. John’s plan was not as sneaky as he thought it would be. He sacrificed his own life, but killed many people too. Therefore, he is should be known as a terrorist and a murderer.
John Brown: A good intent, a bad choice.
John Brown Is most definitely a murderer, because of his choice killing people for the cause of destroying slavery. His plan involves killing a lot of people, and he isn't just a little crazy. He killed many men for the cause of destroying slavery, but he did not think his plan through. Harper's Ferry was a big mistake, because he did not send out a way to get reinforcements. There are many different ways to do this, and he could have used any of them. But killing others only ever brings war and never peace. He fought for a cause that was meant to be fought with words, not guns. Violence always leads to more violence, and in his case, the civil war
John Brown: Hero for the Slaves
John Brown
John Brown believed strongly against slavery, as an extreme abolitionist. In my opinion, John Brown is a martyr, because he was willing to die, and kill people for his beliefs. He was known as a terrorist, but that wasn’t his intention. John Brown’s mindset, was to capture people that were for slavery, just to save the slaves. John was willing to get violent in order to protest to free the slaves. He did kill people, but not for no reason, which is what a murder would do, meaning that they just kill people. Since Brown had good reasoning to his plan of killing the army, he was a martyr because he had strong beliefs to free the slaves.
Who Is John Brown A Martyr Or A Murderer?
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.
John Brown Murder or a Martyr...
Depending on where you live or what you believe in he could be a martyr or a murder. Personally I would call him a murder. I would call him that because he was killing people just so African Americans could be free. John Brown said that he would not stop until the town was all dead and burnt to the ground. I would call that a murder. Also from all of the research that I have done it said that he killed 5 people by the creek just to prove his beliefs. At this time in history killing someone means you are a murder. That is why I think he is a murder not a martyr.
John Brown, Martyr at Harpers Ferry
A martyr is a person who is killed because of religious beliefs. John Brown is totally a martyr even though he is considered a terrorist in our modern times. He is a very dangerous man, leading a very good cause. I really don't think he should have killed people for the cause. I don't think he should have relied so heavily on slave reinforcements when he stormed Harpers Ferry. He should have not gone into the armory. I think he is a hero who made the wrong decisions. I think he should have been better in his plan to storm the armoury, maybe have done it peacefully, stole weapons, given them to slaves, and helped from the side. He had the right idea. John brown is a martyr who made the wrong decisions.
