You could make that case for any war of any kind. Does it make it right if it is state sponsored? What about the founding of this very country? I believe Brown brought about an end to an institution that went on long enough and cost many lives and suffering.

There is no valid comparison between how the founders of the country proceeded, and how John Brown proceeded.

There are a vast number of honorable people on the Union side of the Civil War worthy of honor. But Brown did not behave honorably and does not approach them.

john brown was at least as decent a fellow as ted bundy was. in other words, he was FILTH, too.

BOTH got PRECISELY what they deserved.

btw, Haywood Sheppard was a VA lawman, as well as a railway porter/nightwatchman. he is revered as the FIRST of many a Confederate martyr by many Virginians.
