Question

Was John Brown justified in his violence in the name of abolition? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

John Brown was not justified in his violence in the name of abolition.

Explanation:

The reason for this is that it was murder. It was amazing that he had such strong beliefs but terrorist have strong beliefs. They kill to get their point across however it is MURDER. Innocent lives and families where destroyed because of his ignorance and need to prove a point. John Brown could have taken different actions instead he killed people. This was not justified no matter his situation of slavery.

Brown was courageous and brave but certainly not honorable. Instead he was a coward because he brutally murdered people who disagreed with him and his point of views.
