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.
Ava, I agree that there were some bad decisions, like killing those 5 people, but I believe he was a martyr because he just made some bad decision but had very good intentions.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! Trying to burn the town and kill everyone just proving that you are crazy. Great job! :)
ReplyDeleteI like your blog, but I disagree, because I think that he was just intending to free the slaves. You should check out abby's, because she had the same views as you.
ReplyDeleteAva, I agree. Something to add, He killed men for a political cause, one meant to be resolved by words. But because of his Idea of violence, the Civil war happened, along with other causes
