By the time his body hung from the gallows for his crimes at Harper's Ferry, abolitionists had made John Brown a "holy martyr" in the fight against Southern slave owners. But Northern hatred for Southerners had been long in the making. Northern rage was born of the conviction that New England, whose spokesmen and militia had begun the American Revolution, should have been the leader of the new nation.It looks like the sort of pablum that pelly would be drawn to. I found a used copy for $6 so I'll give it a go but I doubt that there will be anything other than neo-confederate nonsense there.
I seriously tried to read one of their screeds, and just can't get through it.
The nonsense is so thick & deep it's unreadable, at least for me.
But, maybe there are other such books somewhat less offensive in tone & content, and more focused on historical reality?
Let me know what you find. ;-)
