Description
This biography focuses on John Brown, an ardent abolitionist who led both the raid of Pottawatomie Creek, Kansas, in 1856, and the attack on Harper's Ferry, Virginia, in October 1859. Brown's intent was to inspire a slave rebellion throughout the South. The raid on Harper's Ferry failed and Brown was executed. His actions, while not causing the Civil War, brought open conflict between the North and South ever closer.
The biography includes a series of questions based on the reading.
