True.
If your teacher wants a personal opinion, an easy argument is that the law is not a basis for morality. Remember, the Holocaust was legal in nazi germany, slavery was legal in america, and in Muslim countries today slavery still exists. John Brown was an abolitionist who killed several pro slavery men during a massacre in Kansas. (Pottawattami Massacre). he raided a federal armory, and was attempted a slave revolt that would sweep throughout the south, a revolt that ended with the deaths of three of his sons and his capture by the US Marine Colonel Robert E Lee.

TRUE -- John Brown was going against the existing laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, so his acts were illegal.  However, he believed he was doing the moral thing (even if not legal).  

John Brown's views as an abolitionist supported armed struggle against existing laws and government in order to end slavery.  In October 1859, Brown led a raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia.  The intent was to arm slaves to fight for their freedom and set in motion a slave revolt that would spread across other regions in the South.  The effort was unsuccessful and Brown was convicted for treason and stirring up insurrection.   Virginia law considered his actions illegal and hanged him as a criminal.

Who were the acadains
Free_Kalibri [48]

They were the French settlers in Nova Scotia. The French called it Acadia after the Indian name for the area. It went back and forth between the British and french throughout the 17th and early 18th centuries. The British gained final control in 1713. In 1755, with war with France looming the British became concerned about the loyalty of the French population and deported many of them. Several thousand of them settled in Louisiana, which was then French territory. Over time after Louisiana became American the word Acadian was corrupted to Cajun which is how their descendants, including me, are known to this day.Michael Montagne  french settlers  The Acadians were the first Europeans (besides the Vikings) to land in the Maritime provinces. They lived content and happy lives.

sashaice [31]
<span>During the Bill Clinton administration, no-fly zones in the north and south of Iraq kept Saddam’s aircraft grounded in an effort to protect the Kurds and Shias. In February 1998, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright confirmed that U.S. strategy toward Saddam was containment, arguing that removing Saddam would be too costly and that fomenting a coup would create false expectations.6

What were the ideas of he federalist in regards to the ratification of the constitution?
Andrew [12]
The Anti-Federalists found many problems in the Constitution. They argued that the document would give the country an entirely new and untested form of government. They saw no sense in throwing out the existing government. Instead, they believed that the Federalists had over-stated the current problems of the country. They also maintained that the Framers of the Constitution had met as an elitist group under a veil of secrecy and had violated the provisions of the Articles of Confederation in the means selected for ratification of the Constitution.<span>
