His raid on Harpers Ferry was not a terrorist attack. His attack was not meant to cause fear. He just wanted the guns in the armory. He did not want anybody to die in the raid. That is what happened at Harpers Ferry and next is Pottawatomie.
His killings at Pottawatomie were not terrorist attacks. He gave the people he killed a chance to convert to anti-slavery. They did not thought so he killed them because they would not would not convert. Terrorist do not care who they kill ,and John Brown did
not kill women.
His action were not terrorist attacks . He did not want to cause feat into people. He only wanted to prove that slavery was wrong. His goal was to prove slavery was wrong and would not stop until he stopped slavery.
We know all the bad things that he did ,but we do not talk about all the good things that he did. He vowed to end slavery ,and to stop at nothing to end it. He also was a very good father. He made them do thing for their selves so they would be ready for being an adult.
As you see my belief is that he was a freedom fighter ,and not a terrorist. I have stated all of my reasons he is a freedom fighter. It is your choice now to decide if he is a freedom fighter ,or is a terrorist.
