Respect to John Brown, he was truly an instrument of God to end slavery.
John Brown is the greatest American ever !!!
@Marcus Austin
Agreed 100% !
Fact!
Better than abe?, take that up with my history teacher
Any terrorist fighting against the inhuman evil act and system of slavery is nothing more then a Legend and Hero.
Absolutely
Love this! I use to visit Harper's Ferry quite often but haven't seen much of John Brown outside of it, didn't even know this painting existed!
He was a hero. A warrior and a beloved person to all who know the truth that we are all only here temporarily and that sometimes freeing and defending others means more than our own lives. The truth is that our awful government actively supported slavery right up until Lincoln came in. Somebody had to use violence. Do not even dare to give me the bs response that violence is never the answer!! That is the response of thugs and cowards. The former because thugs never want their victims to fight back and the latter because they never want their own cowardice exposed by the raw courage and selflessness of others!! Violence is often the only answer to oppression!! All slave owners should have been put to the sword.
Beautiful beautiful painting. My favorite painting
I was just looking at this painting yesterday at de Young! Thank you for the video!
John Brown was a Hero
Western University in Kansas City Kansas was an all Black School that put a statue up of John Brown in 1911. Entirely funded by the community and made of Italian marble.
The school closed in the 1940s but the statue is still there.
Fascinating, thanks for adding this comment.
Nice. I especially like the acoustics of the gallery you are speaking in. A small thing, but it adds something.
I paid attention in class and was always on the honor roll .... but I have never heard of this 🤔😕
Trese Smith they didn’t talk about John brown much he’s a legend
that's what I said publishers historians they did their best to keep this man out of history books I am 49 years old and I have never heard of this man before
its incredibly strange that hes not in history books because he is one of the major reason as to what lead the south to fight.
Never knew about John Brown may God blessed him.
MLK didn't go around shooting people to get his message across.
@@TheMrPeteChannel Hence, the continuation of shooting/murdering of unarmed black men and women.
John Brown's message still turns all over the world.
He was a badass! ❤️
I'm here because of The Good Lord Bird 🐦. How bout you?
Thanks for sharing
Great video! The John Brown story is very interesting and is a great topic for debate.
Martyr.
Period.
Next Question
Hope you guys get to the Norton Simon Museum someday.
He did the right thing. Anything evil needs to be destroyed.
MLK & Ghandi fought evil too. They didn't go around killing people.
@@TheMrPeteChannel Gandhi is the right spelling (From a friendly spelling nazi).
@@TheMrPeteChannel And they were violently killed. Try again.
I'm sorry to admit that I didn't know about John Brown, but what a story and what a powerful painting. Ugh, y'all are hitting me in the feels tonight! 😅 So deep for a Friday night, but I loved this - especially the detail about the cross. I would've missed it.
Harper's Ferry is my favorite place!
I find it amusing that people look down on those who commit civil disobedience - even if it's for a cause that they agree with. The road to equality was never paved by being passive & following the rules. John Brown is an american hero for risking (and ultimately losing) everything he had in the fight against cruelty.
Violence has solved a lot of issues
@@pottingsoil This is true. Luckily in this circumstance it was for the greater good.
MLK & Ghandi say hi.
It’s funny cause the people responsible for this civil disobedience can it follow the rules themselves making it necessary. They can’t see the error of their own ways lol so who cares if they think what he did was wrong. They’re no better
@@TheMrPeteChannel Gandhi = correct spelling (from a friendly spelling nazi).
An American hero
Mourning John Brown abolitionist today. The greatest FRIEND of the American Black Man !! 🌹 Remembering your sacrifice.
You did not have to DIE for me , yet Jesus did it is said ....
John Brown kissed a child on the way from the courthouse to his jail cell, from many accounts - not going to the gallows. It's the perfect metaphor, however!
Let the good, be reviled
A rock is a rock, and a diamond is a diamond….but a Man is part good, and part bad.
i was always fascinated by this dude. bro just lost his wife and went a little crazy. a tiny bit unhinged. i respect him💯
Americans treated Nelson Mandela as a hero why do they not also treat John Brown as a hero? Nelson Mandela was also involved in violent attacks
I believe he was a Martyr ! 😔
Abolitionist
In the extreme. Fredrick Douglass didn't go around killing people to get his message across.
@@TheMrPeteChannel you think slaveholders were catering slaves?
He was a self righteous, scantamonious creep!! No loss!!
