Like I said before,I don’t try to justify what happened at Ossawatomie.Yet that atrocity was dwarfed by many similiar massacres of anti-slavers by the pro-Southern militias in Kansas and Missouri.

We were discussing John Brown.

I said he was scum.

You said he wasn't scum.

I pointed out that he was a serial killer.

You are now trying to change the subject. No matter what anyone else did, John Brown was a serial killer and I say that as a guy so pro-Union I wanted to name my younger son after Johua Chamberlain. The pro-Southern militias you mentioned were full of serial killers, too, but that doesn't change what John Brown was.

John Brown was clearly a psychopathic serial killer, no denying it.

‘John Browns Body’ was controlled by a very sick mind.

Ok,if you want to be technical about it,yes,Brown WAS a serial killer.
Which does not make him any MORE unworthy of scorn than many of the bandits and scoundrels of that pre-War period.
