Today in class we went discussed John Brown and why he was such a polarizing figure. Though somewhat of a madman he became a terrorist to the south and a hero to the north. Steadfast in his goal to end slavery he was willing to use violence to further his cause. First in Kansas during "bleeding Kansas" and later at Harper's ferry. Notes are small so I will try to load the power point instead of the little pictures that students got in class.
