To what extent was john brown's raid on harpers ferry a success or failure

History

morpeh [17]3 years ago

In theory a total failure as he failed to start a war to free all enslaved men from bondage and was swiftly dealt with by Robert E Lee, his 2nd Jeb Stuart and their Marines and the local Militia.

But it ended up succeeding after all the raiders had already been killed in action or executed.

Browns death riled up an already angry North and more people saw slavery as a southern blight on society.

So as John Brown's body lied in the grave, abolitionists everywhere were mobilizing and spreading.

In the Northern states, West coast and Midwest Brown became a martyr for the abolition of an Evil which cost him his life, while in the south he was a Terrorist a crazy fanatic who stormed a small town killing 6 civilians and a marine.


He was further enshrined as an American hero during the Civil War when he became a rallying, and battle cry for union soldiers especially African american units.


So no his original plan didnt work but posthomously he stirred up division which in turn saw his dream true.

In elections, such districts where the minority is in the majority can affect election outcomes as minority group voters like African Americans or Hispanic Americans vote against the more conventional, status quo candidates and incumbents.

Answer: Adam Smith described the opposing, but complementary forces of self-interest and competition as the invisible hand. While producers and consumers are not acting with the intent of serving the needs of others or society, they do. Smith argued against mercantilism and was a major proponent of laissez-faire economic policies. In his first book, "The Theory of Moral Sentiments," Smith proposed the idea of an invisible hand—the tendency of free markets to regulate themselves by means of competition, supply and demand, and self-interest. 1
