John Brown was hanged at 11:15 a.m on December 2, 1859.
His last words were:
“I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think, vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.”

If I never get the replies you do I’ll be blessed

Frederick Douglass wrote of Brown, "His zeal in the cause of my race was far greater than mine…I could live for the slave, but he could die for him."

After Pro-slavers sacked an abolitionist town in kansas, that was aiming to be the state capital
John Brown led a group that abduct a handful of pro-slaver settlers and hacked them to death with broadswords.

Yes, women didn’t have the vote & were disempowered
But women existed & had agency [cause everyone has agency (to some degree), I mean Harriet Tubman *existed* & was an absolute badass]
How did I come off as defensive of slavery? I was speaking against violence for cris sake.
effectively no different than insisting a victim of domestic violence is no better than their abuser
I’m gonna lean on Frantz Fanon to explain my point.
When dealing with a system that is inherently violent, the use of violence can be necessary for be heard.
Shame doesn’t work on people enslaving others.

Sometimes you gotta use violence to protect innocent people from becoming victims of someone else's abuse
Generally, the people who insist that the oppressed must remain peaceful to achieve their goals don't want those goals achieved at all.
Rock the Vote ✅
I’ve used the word violence so much it lost all meaning
People like her convince themselves they are good people when in reality they are actually admitting that they will watch injustice happening and scold those actually stopping it.
I said I wasn’t going to reply but here I am again 😂
it is the question
sometimes the answer is yes.
If someone attacks you, what will your answer be? Will you say no, or will you defend yourself?
When it comes to fighting oppression the oppressor sets the tone for the actions of the oppressed. Slavery was inherently violent, same w colonizing.

Fun Fact: Harriet Tubman almost went on the raid with him but couldn't make it in time. Also, he stayed at the home Frederick Douglass just before embarking on the raid and tried to convince him to come even up to the last minute.
and prepared for war scientifically instead of with prayers

But his soul still marches on
> Northern abolitionist groups sent 198 breech-loading .52-caliber Sharps carbines … The pikes were never used
Primary source, the guy who apprehended him:
> [Brown] had in his hand a short Sharpe's cavalry carbine. …the Marine who followed me … received a bullet in the abdomen
By our powers combined...
RIGHT AWAY!
So it seems Del Wasso also thinks that white people are special
astonished, did not look like that kind of guy
Nice, my first block that I saw happening live 😊
And, oh, it’s de jure once again, thanks to the new racist-in-chief.😓
Your land not whole world.
Me interested in whole world!
Easy to see:
1) Not good at reading, the old man (or the 'Murican definition of "justify" just doesn't have anything to with the English definition)
3) As ex-military guy Wasso is a little bit to fond of violence as solution for all problems (if you only have a hammer...)
It's a choice - your choice...
