The stage: the town of Alton in southern Illinois. The date of the act committed: the 7th of November, 1837. On that Tuesday, an angry mob murdered Elijah Lovejoy, the Presbyterian minister who was the founder of the Illinois State Anti-Slave Society.
Two days later, some 500 miles east in Hudson Ohio, a church congregation held a memorial service to honor the murdered activist. Owen Brown opened the gathering with a long, tearful prayer. At its conclusion, there was a long silence.
Then, in the back, Owen Brown’s son rose and, stiffly, raised his right hand, then vowed, “Here before God, in the presence of these witnesses, I consecrate my life to the destruction of slavery.” It was 37-year-old John Brown’s first public statement on the inflammatory issue and, as time would tell, his message and actions would be ominous.
And yet, on that Tuesday and in that service, this was John Brown of Hudson, Ohio. It would take time and events to fully create the John Brown of “Bleeding” Kansas and Harpers Ferry. From crusader to Old Testament avenging angel, this is his story.

    Nowadays, he would be described as having ADHD or some other disorder. Did this make him what he was? Possibly…that being said, many great leaders and generals of the past probably had similar “issues”. Many women drank during pregnancy in days gone by. That combined with the trauma of difficult pregnancies along with many other environmental factors and just how hard life was in general in those days, must have contributed greatly to how these men thought and acted.

    Fun facts- month before he had rented out the presidential box to plan out Plan A with Surrat - kidnapping Lincoln. Also it has apparently been verified that Booth did not gauge out the peep hole in the door. It had been there already for theater staff to discreetly check on occupants. (See Wikipedia Lincoln assassination entry).

    Lincoln found a General that would sacrifice his men to quicken the war's end. Grant lost 50% more men than Lee. You could call Grant the suicide General, charging unattainable positions. But the war ended before Lincoln's term ended, and slavery was abolished. Just like today, war is not just when politicians are in control

    Grant’s butcher bill rode his straight into the White House for two terms. Though, Lincoln paid no mind to the cost since his son was not a private in the infantry. Am really tired of hearing about how superb Grant was. Sure, he won but at what cost.

    Jefferson Davis did not like Forrest. Davis resented being asked about what Forrest was up to. He frequently responded that anyone who wanted to know about Forrest's whereabouts should simply read the newspapers, because that is how Davis tracked Forrest.

      Yes, he was born and raised in Ohio. He also lived in Galena, IL, and lived in Saint Louis, MO as well. It is in Saint Louis that he was based at Jefferson Barracks, and nearby met his future wife Julia Dent and where he attempted to farm (he called his land Hardscrabble). He later lived in Washington, DC & New York City, but he was legitimately *from* several places.

    To this day every English person knows the bars, the chant and despite only a minority having a clue where it came from, most believing it the hymn that some religious dandy plagiarised the music and rewrote the lyrics to a create a new hymn that became a favourite of the pews. It’s to Mr Brown and his colleagues took it upon themselves to make a decision that would make many of today’s people reach for their remote control instead and having witnessed the most vile acts when white men considered black men as we treat our family pets, ( I’m being far too generous but we’re all aware of the horrors of the results of a deal with an African chief meant a coffin ship across the triangular routes.)and Mr Brown felt a sense of righteousness that his faith forced him into action. Considering Britain, France and Spain had outlawed the slave market decades before his time he must have been incensed by the dismissive and appalling manner his fellow Americans were being subjected to and long may our ancestors and yours keep such folk songs alive and hopefully with the original intention and its another piece of shared history. Best wishes. 🇬🇧🙏🇺🇸📚☘️👏
