What were John Brown's beliefs and how were they justified?

Brown deciated himself to his cause and was willing to die in honor of his followers and the principle he believed in.

John Brown had both Black and White followers.

Within these followers there were the "Secret Six Influential Supporters."

His death inspired abolition movements in the south.

Although he failed in changing slavery while he was alive, he was able to point the United States in the right direction against slavery through the message of his death.

His efforts later inspired others to continue in his path.

Brown was against slavery and the bad treatment of Blacks.

The system is corrupt. The individual slave owners should not be to blame the but bigger system at large: slavery

No one can deny that slavery crue, whether you favor it or not.

The idea of slavery is cruel and the slave owners cannot be kind when they are denying a fellow human being rights.

Brown attempted to organize a slave insurrection.

Brown had all of the means necessary to succeed and although it took a wrong turn for the worst,Brown's ideas wll eventually make an impact.

Brown felt it was necessary for slaves to rebel using violence so he provided them with weapons and started riots.

Brown believed there was no other way for slaves to win their freedom with the new Fugative Slave Law and the constant restrictions being put on the slaves' rights

Brown believed that Blacks and Whites should have equal rights in society.

Men should not be judged on their skin color.

He developed this theory based on "a love of Freedom and Rights" and he stuck with his case ans supported it. He believed in his cause enough to die for it.
