John Brown's fervent commitment to abolitionism, driven by a profound moral conviction against slavery, led him to advocate for armed insurrection as a means of achieving freedom. His 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry, though unsuccessful, marked a pivotal moment in American history, intensifying the divide between pro and anti-slavery factions and setting the stage for the Civil War. W. E. B. Du Bois's 1909 biography paints Brown as a passionate leader whose dedication to his ideals transcended conventional power structures. This edition features premium acid-free paper.
