John Brown (Person) AKA John H. Brown
John Brown
1800 AD - 1859 AD
AKA John H. Brown
American abolitionist leader who felt that violence was necessary to end American slavery, as years of speeches, sermons, petitions, and moral persuasion had failed.
An intensely religious man, Brown believed he was raised up by God to strike the death blow to American slavery.
He also believed that in all ages of the world God had created certain men to perform special work in some direction far in advance of their countrymen, even at the cost of their lives. He believed that among his earthly missions was to free the American slave...and it must be performed. He was very strict in his religious duties and he regarded this as sacred.
"I am an instrument of God."
