What Is The Madness Of John Brown
Aralee Fajardo
January 7, 2011
Entry #8: "The Madness of John Brown" Historians are not the only ones that can elucidate history. History is a extensive puzzle that can be solved by anyone who has an educated diploma on certain subjects. Historians are the main disposition to solve the uncertainty of history with their useful, quality skills of making theories to conjoin loose ends of history, motivation of repeated research, and their undying love to learn new history, but a psychologist can solve history too with their forte. Even though it may seem absurd to believe that this occupation who assesses a man's personality to solve problems; a psychologist can solve an dead man's prospective in life.

    On October 16, 1859, John Brown, a radical abolitionist of the North, led a small army of 18 men into the small town of Harpers Ferry, Virginia. He seized the arms and ammunition in the federal arsenal and planned to arm slaves to instigate slave rebellions in the South. He was captured by the militia and Lieutenant Colonel Robert E. Lee’s troops, and was quickly sentenced to death. John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry received polarized comments.

    In the early twenty-first century minorities, women particularly, did not have much of a blessing to be in the workplace and more specifically the field of psychology. Mary Whiton Calkins was one of these women who worked almost selflessly to achieve a high educational standard that seemed to be unreachable. In a world dominated by the male gender, Calkins found herself fighting for recognition, never to obtain it from Harvard University. She first attended Harvard as an “unofficial guest” (Goodwin, 2008) according to Harvard officials but was later enrolled in Harvard in the fall of 1890 studying philosophy and physiological psychology…
