John Brown : Murder or Martyr? What do you think.? Right a comment below.

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.
