Former Confederate government officials :) hope this helped<3
The correct answer is the following.
Brown's last words can be considered ominous and foreshadowing. Explain how that is the case about the phrase:<em> "the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood."</em>
The comment can be considered foreshadowing because it is true that violence cannot be resolved with more and bloodiest violence. If this happens, a vice circle is created in which the result is more conflict, more violence, and more blood, but problems still persist.
And we can see how this is true. The World Wars did not finish with ethnicities and racial problems in Europe.
We can go further in the past. The Civil War spilled blood, pain, suffering, and desolation, but the issue of slavery did not end there. It continued for many years, in many forms, up until today, with the many recent racial incidents in many cities of the United States.
Protect interests of bystanders.
According to the internet Virginia had the most slaves with abut 490,000 slaves
