Herro. Why? Because he ridded slaves of their owners. If he didn't do that, are you have today? If slavery didn't end, are you sure that you're not a slave now? Some people said that he was a hero, but some else said that he was a terrorist. He was a terrorist just because he killed the owners? He killed them because of slaves. He wanted the slavery to be end.

One man's terrorist may be another man's hero, but nothing in subsequent history can justify the arming of slaves for a nationwide rebellion. It was a totally irresponsible act, which made Abolitionism look like a movement for violent revolution, and it made constructive dialogue between the two sides even more difficult to achieve. Some have called Brown's 1859 raid the first battle of the Civil War.
