You mean slaughtering a bunch of American soldiers at a munitions depot?

... are you being fucking serious right now?

One US Marine died during the entire fucking rebellion.

Slavery is and was evil and Brown’s motivations were pure, but he was a sociopath, murderer, and terrorist, not a hero.

I politely invite you to go fuck yourself.

Classy dude. Keep writing hagiographies which have no basis in reality. People on here sure seem to love them.

Please, then, back up your assertion that "a bunch of American soldiers" were slaughtered by John Brown at Harper's Ferry, or I'll be forced to assume that you're knowingly spreading disinformation.
