Harpers Ferry, Part 2: The Attack

After more than a year of planning, John Brown conducted his raid on Harpers Ferry. With only eighteen men, John Brown terrorized the Virginia town for three days, holding citizens as hostage inside the federal armory and waiting for slaves to flock to join his cause. This episode is part 2 of 3 on John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry.
Chris Calton gives a revisionist look at the antebellum period leading up to the Civil War. This is the 21st episode in the second season of Historical Controversies.

Thank you for this balanced as possible telling of history

[@lanagorgeous9485]

Darn this is the most negative account on John Brown that I've heard from numerous documentaries.

It’s the truth.

Most people, or at least a whole lot, nowadays support John Brown's murderous campaign. They want to do it again.
