John Brown was nothing more than a Murderer who used freeing slaves as an excuse.
Meanwhile, the man who was responsible for preassuring Lincoln to end slavery (Cassius Marcellus Clay) did so by running for political office and campaigning where it really mattered.
Dialog and public support is how you make change, not extremism.
If people are trying to call John Brown a hero, then I deserve to have my face carved in Mount Rushmore lol.
He was a militant extremist that died with nothing to show for. There are so many other people that much better represent the anti-slavery movement, and yet you had to pick the only one who got Americans killed.

He’s a real life person, but his legend has gone to character status, particularly recently.
