The Editor,

New American Times,

Boston,

Subject: about the raid by John Brown on Harpers Ferry.

Sir,

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to share my feelings on the recent raid on Harpers Ferry by John Brown. This raid was an effort by John Brown to initiate a slave revolt in the states of the South by taking over Harpers Ferry, the U.S. arsenal. This raid has scared a lot of citizens. We think we are not even safe at our own homes and thus I think the government should do something to stop such raids. According to me, the government should grant them citizenship because this will lessen the possibility of domestic disputes. Therefore, the government will only have to deal with external conflicts. This will help our nation to grow.

Thanks

Yours obediently
