May 9 is John Brown's birthday

A staunch abolitionist, he led armed raids to liberate slaves and was the first American executed for treason

His resolve galvanized anti-slavery sentiment in the North

« As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, his soul is marching on »

He is another one that I was taught the lost cause myth about, along with Grant. And I cannot express how absolutely, royally PISSED itmakes me that they taught me that load of absolute CRAP about the few 19th century white Americans who were on the correct side of the racial questions.
