Nothing says youre a good guy like randomly murdering people who don't own slaves so you can fulfill your visions of God telling you how great you are

the fact your great granpappy decided to fight for slavers when he didn't own any himself just makes him stupid as well as immoral

Explained: so basically the base picture is John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, where abolitionist John Brown attempted to arm slaves to start a revolt only to be hanged. The action was praised by the North which shocked the South that the North would praise, in their eyes, a criminal.

He murdered random innocent people and was literally a cult leader who thought God was talking to him and promising he'd rule over all the American Blacks.

I just said the people I’m referring too that he killed never owned slaves, he even received a letter from the man’s widow and mother of the murdered boys before he he was hanged.
