@@Bladeofwar94 Well that's questionable to be honest. Noble as his cause was, I imagine the Union might worry that it was also a cause unlikely to succeed and that resources diverted to Brown to support him might actually have been better spent being diverted to the frontlines. And the thing is, they wouldn't necessarily have been wrong in thinking so. The simple fact was, freed slaves lacked military training, they lacked the discipline and drilling of trained soldiers, the familiarity with military equipment, the necessary chain of command or even clear, easily fulfilled tactical objectives. They could cause some problems, for sure, but the scattered nature of slave plantations and the lack of familiarity with any countryside outside those immediate plantations would mean that any attempts to wage a guerilla war against the South may be doomed from the start. The slaves would almost immediately be faced with logistical difficulties and difficulties in combining their forces and coordinating their operations. History has shown that slave rebellions, while noble, rarely succeed. I mean its not impossible, but usually its rebellions that occurred in far-off regions, away from the slave state's heartlands.

Also the fetishism part is referencing the liberal tendency to not meaningfully challenge things like racism, colonial apologia, and fascism(and going "I'll protect [insert name of fascist, or fascist group] right to free speech !"). The comparison with senator douglas was because he thought slavery/racism would fade over time if not meaningfully challenged which sounds similar to thinking that fascism and racism would die out if not challenged.,

A "sour apple tree," interestingly enough, probably refers to the osage orange tree, which produces inedible green brain-looking fruit about the size of a softball. The fruit are called "sour apples" or "osage oranges," although the orange part of the name refers to the color of the wood and not the fruit. It's the hardest wood found in North America so was probably used as a preferred tree for hanging due to it's durability and strength and the fact that a branch was very unlikely to break under the weight of a man. They are found across Eastern Kansas where John Brown had many of his escapades.

One time when I visited the south a tour guide told our group, “the Civil War wasn’t about slavery, it was about states rights” I chided him for that, telling him, “Yeah, and what did the southern states want to continue having the right to do?” He ignored me. His presentation was rushed, and inaccurate. He pointed out a building that supposedly had some civil war significance. I found out later that the building was built during World War 1. SMH 🤦♂️ still lots of people who want to... ahem... white wash the evil perpetrated by the south.

Funny. It was about "states' rights", yet the Confederate Constitution expressly removed the right of individual states to abolish slavery. This right existed under the United States, but the Confederacy removed it. So, even if a Confederate state wanted to abolish slavery, they did not have that right under the Confederate Constitution. So, "states' rights" my ass! Also, Southern politicians at the time were not at all bashful about proclaiming that they were seceding over slavery. It is only since Reconstruction, when the South was trying to rehabilitate its image so as to no seem as uncivilized as they were, that the narrative has changed.

And some states think that the slavery issue of the 1860's was a smokescreen issue to disguise Northern imperialism of the Southern States. For further reading on this matter, I refer you to Donald W. Livingston's essay on "Why the War Was Not About Slavery" . And, despite me being a neocon, I am also a believer in racial equality and share your views on slavery. And I also commend your general knowledge of American history.

+Gilbert Van Buskirk Mr. Buskirk, only a very small number of southerners owned slaves, and some of those who did actually sided with the Union. It is said by some that some of the Union officers also owned slaves, including General Ulysses S. Grant. Abraham Lincoln's emancipation proclamation only intended to free the slaves in the Confederate States that had not surrendered by January 1, 1863. So the institution of slavery was not entirely the fault of "Southern Confederates [sic[ bigots", now was it?

Jefferson Davis was the president of a group of states who were afriad that Lincoln was going to take away their slaves. It’s what they were known for the most.

I mean, I'd say it was *slightly* more relavant in 1859 but ok.

Does your mom know you ate the paint. The song didn't exist 1859 so it couldn't be relevant then.

John Brown was a hero of the times. He knew slavery was an abomination of man. That all men are equal regardless of race, color, religion. Raymond Massey played John Brown twice and both renditions are amazing..

John Brown is my distant relative. And I'd be glad to march on Harpers Ferry and die behind him and his beliefs of freedom.

I can remember my cousin singing this song about sixty years ago. I never knew the meaning of the song and until tonight I hadn't heard the song again. My cousin grew up and became a preacher.

I genuinely can't understand why John Brown isn't a proper cultural icon of the U.S. Were his actions uncomplicated? No, but his motive certainly was. He should be commemorated more vividly, and in the process he could be a great topic for discussion on the specifics of morality, nuance and what is justifiable. Personally, I believe that slavery in the U.S. would never have come to an end without violent action, specifically due to how entrenched slavery was. We have to recall after all, that the slaveholding class managed to enact laws such as the Fugitive Slave Act that forced everyone, even in the north, to become unwilling slave hunters or risk facing jail and crippling fines.

Regardless of all the terrible things the American state has done and continues to do, the cause the Union fought for in the Civil War to me represents America at its best. And if I may get sentimental for a moment, I think there’s something to the fact that this song ended up being used for the Battle Hymn Of The Republic, one of the most iconic American anthems- through our continued struggle for social progress against the chains of oppression, that abolitionist spirit of liberty for all truly does go marching on. If there’s one thing about America I can be proud of, it’s that.
