His actions pushed the South to secede, and the fact his raid took place in Virginia may have swayed the state into joining the secessionists despite voting down secession twice. Virginia joining the CSA did more to prolong the war than anything else could have. As Tennessee and North Carolina would join them. Plus they had one of the best state militias. And some of the Union's best former officers such as Robert E Lee and Thomas Jackson were from Virginia.

It is important to remember that the "He" in the song who died to make men holy is Christ. In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea / With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me / As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free! / While God is marching on Note that many modern hymnals change the line about dying to "let us live to make men free."

Every time I hear these stories about such heroes of America’s past I can’t help but remember a line I once read a book called “Culture Warlords” “We tend to like our noble lawbreakers to be comfortably in the past, where time and death have sanitized them into heroes, and to suffer those who struggle against injustice in the present only grudgingly, if at all.” The reason why I think about it so much, is that it’s easy in retrospect to look upon the past, with the benefit of how it bore out and know who was in the right of history. But what heroes against injustice of the modern day are we allowing to go unsung, because in our judgment, we hold some kind of qualms against their tactics in a fight for which we may not necessarily have as much at stake. I think more than anything that’s probably one of the most important lessons to learn from John Brown’s story.

Kudos for telling Brown's story on this platform; it is especially relevant given current efforts to criminalize the teaching of subjects that have previously been overlooked or avoided. Mark Twain's observations about travel could just as easily be applied to previously untold history...it is "fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."

@@matthewdopler8997 The best thing about all that Grant the butcher crap is that he spent most of the war fighting with the 2nd or 3rd string army in peripheral theaters where the armies were usually pretty even in terms of numbers. If Grant had a numbers advantage it was because he created local superiority through skillful generalship. Sure, in the Overland Campaign, Grant had overwhelming numbers, but really only after he backed Lee into a coerner that he knew Lee wouldn't retreat from and then attrited Lee down for 8 months. Losses in the Overland Campaign were high, but it's really the only time where Grant had higher than normal losses. He typically had pretty low losses, but most importantly, his campaigns always moved the Union closer to ending the war, so in terms of men lost, if there was a ratio that could equate losses to war winning actions, Grant's ratio would be the most favorable. People also give Grant a hard time and claim he was just an idiot basically who just mindlessly attacked. He was constantly looking for, and trying new methods to make attacks more successful and lose costly. It didn't always work, but Grant was never afraid to innovate personally, or to try innovations from his subordinate officers.

@@Valhain There is a Sherman story from the Vicksburg campaign that always makes me laugh. Grant had already gone down south of Vicksburg on the west bank of the river, and Sherman was north of the city coordinating transports that were running supplies down the river under the guns of the city fortifications. On one supply run, Sherman observed a river boat take several hits and go down. He wrote in a letter to Grant about it and said he hoped that they would be blessed with good enough luck for the newspaper reporters to have all been aboard the sunken steamboat. Sherman was savage.

This story absolutely screams for a game or movie, likely set in the Assassin's Creed world. The whole secret 6 thing, the historical figures most people assume worked independently of each other, secret financiers on both sides, the story writes itself and could easily insert Assassins and Templars in it. The only reason it would be ignored is because Ubisoft fears a backlash from rural Americans who cling to the lost cause myth and from racists.They kind of broached this in Far Cry 5 but they made the cult a mix of hippies and religious nuts, instead of racist scum.
