Review # 1 was written on 2008-11-30 00:00:00 Cris Mooney I have an essay in here, "Why Theodore Parker Backed John Brown: The Political and Social Roots of Support for Abolitionist Violence."

Review # 2 was written on 2012-10-12 00:00:00 Rafael Rojas Decaro presents the life and times of John Brown, who as a Christian abolitionist could never justify slavery in this country! Fro when Jesus said, "What you do to the least of my brethren you have done unto me!" right there presents a challenge to anyone who would use the bible to justify slavery. He was a friend to Frederik Douglas and assisted Harriet Tubman with the underground railroad. Here is a man that was the first American tried for treason. The Harper's Ferry plan may have failed but John Brown's name will live on forever as one who tried to save his brethren.
