John+Brown-Leah


 * Final Project [John Brown]**



John Brown is the historical figure that I chose. I became interested in this figure while learning about John Brown's Raid. I am also very against the slavery issue and his attempts impressed me a lot. When I first started this project, I only knew that John Brown was an abolitionist who tried to end the slavery by supporting and actually practicing the army. This fact came into my mind strongly since it felt extremely different from the other figures who had tried to abolish slavery without force. Therefore, I firmly decided to research about John Brown. While researching and answering my historical question, I wished to have more knowledge about his background, the specific reasons why he hated slavery desperately, and the attempts he had made other than John Brown's Raid.

My primary historical question is ** "Was John Brown a madman or a martyr?" **
