What was John Brown's view of slavery in the US?
John Brown was a radical abolitionist. During the days of " Bleeding Kansas" Brown and his sons murdered execution style pro-slavery people in front of their own families. Somehow he escaped prosecution and he next appeared on a Maryland farmhouse he bought under an assumed name. His financial backers were wealthy New England abolitionists. John Brown tried to interest Black scholar Frederick Douglas in Brown's plan to start a slave rebellion. Douglas once a slave himself wanted no part of it. Next Brown was able to convince Harriet Tubman of the Underground railroad to help him. She did and supplied him with maps of Virginia and Maryland. Brown's idea was to take over a Federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry and use the weapons to arm the slaves he hoped to incite into a revolution. His plan failed and no slaves were recruited. Brown was captured at Harper's Ferry by Marine Colonel Robert E. Lee. Brown was hanged for treason in 1859. For radicals like himself he became a martyr.
Could Kansas be considered part of the confederate states?
Not by any stretch of the imagination I can conjure. As one of the pre-war compromises Kansas was left to decide whether it would be slave or free by a vote of those who settled there. This stimulated a migration to Kansas of anti-slavery abolitionists, which eventually assured that Kansas entered the Union as a free state. The abolitionists founded the town of Lawrence, Kansas, which was a hateful place to pro-slavery groups, and this was why the town was attacked and burned in a raid by Quantrill's raider's in 1863, with many townsmen slaughtered. Before the actual Civil War began there was a mini civil war between abolitionists who had moved to Kansas, known as "Jayhawkers", and pro-slavery Missouri "Red Legs". John Brown, later hung for his raid on Harper's Ferry in 1859, first was among the abolitionists who moved to Kansas, where, with his sons, he murdered several slave owners. All this violence gave Kansas the eventual nickname "Bleeding Kansas". These events are so important in the state's heritage that the University of Kansas athletic teams are today the "Jayhawks".
