John Brown's raid on Harpers F...
On #ThisDayInHistory in 1859, #JohnBrown and a dozen #abolitionists seized the armoury at #HarpersFerry, hoping to arm a #slave uprising. Slavery never ended in the US, and all it takes for evil like that to flourish is for good people to do nothing.
Oh, snap, is the #Insurance Adjuster #JohnBrown?

Finally a good use for that shit ass song!
Y'ever actually read what actually went on from bloody Kansas ta' Harper's Ferry? Lemme just say, John Brown ends up lookin' really heroic, an' the US government ends up lookin' pretty awful. He weren't the best tactician, but he did his best against violent 'n treacherous slavers.

That something is legal doesn't make it right. One key to living a moral life is knowing that the state is NOT a source of morality. #JohnBrown, born on #ThisDayInHistory in 1800, knew this. Killing slavers was not wrong; defending slavery was wrong.
