I wager you're talking about <em>Tragic Prelude</em>, the mural painted by John Steuart Curry.

To answer your question: Curry probably had Brown stand between the two sides to emphasize the increasing divide between the North and the South of the United States during this period, a divide that has only grown due to Brown's actions at Harpers Ferry.  

Curry also probably represented Brown as such a large figure to highlight his importance in the leadup to the Civil War.  He is also represented as a fanatic who would kill and be killed for his beliefs.

Which statement best describes American policy towards native Americans in the late 19th century
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Native Americans were forced to go into reservations.

Explanation:

In the late 19th century, the Americans tried to help what was left of the Natives after the constant wars they fought for their land and the never-ending sickness and illnesses they endured which came from the Americans.  The American policy towards Natives pretty much forced them into reservations because they had nowhere else to go and the Americans were not too sure what to do with them.
