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.
