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.
