I hope John Brown is where he belongs. In Hell.

John Brown did not end slavery, he sure as hell started the war that ended it.

And he belongs in Hell?

I’m so confused

[IrishCatholic]

Why?
Why would you wish anybody in hell?
If you believe in the concept of Heaven and Hell,if you believe in Christ, then you don't wish for anyone to go to hell.
While I am sure you have some emotional investment, due to your screen name, I would ask you to look deeper into what you wish for than the surface.

Whether it is John Brown, Hitler, Jefferson Davis, Abraham Lincoln, Barak Obama, or Jeffrey Dahmer, I don't wish anyone in hell. I may repudiate their actions. I may despise what they have done. But I leave that up to their maker to judge their actions.

That is always a topic of heated debate. I love my history and just visited Harper’s Ferry in September. I admit I am someone who empathizes with John Brown. What to do when faced with the brutal practice of slavery when people were at the mercy of their ‘master’? And when you realize what was going on in Kansas and the war and violence and mock ‘elections’ and no real rule of law. But that history is fascinating and the story of the Browns and their sacrifices to something they felt there was no other way to solve it. And they were right.

Last I heard, he “was a’moulderin’ in his grave”.....;-D

“I hope John Brown is where he belongs. In Hell.”

Right along side of that skinny lawyer Lincoln!
