What was abolitionist john brown accused of?
John Brown was hanged Dec 2nd, 1859, for treason against the State of Virginia. John Brown, and his sons, and followers, once hacked 5 pro-slavery men to death with broad swords. All in the name of defeating Satan and his legions. Future, Confederate/ Rebel/ Southern/ General, Robert E. Lee, led the capture of John Brown, after Brown, his sons, and followers, armed with guns and rifles, tookover a building and held hostages. Brown was severely wounded and his sons killed. He was called the Meteor of the Civil War. Some likened him to Christ. Others thought, never was a man more justly hanged. John Brown once stood up in church and raised his right hand and vowed before God and man that he was from that day forward dedicating his life to the "destruction" of slavery. "Destruction" was exactly what he intended. Perhaps John Brown should have taken to heart what Christ commanded Saint Peter at Christ's arrest when Christ shouted to Peter, "Put your sword back in its place!"

How many people total did John Brown kill?
John Brown and his men were probably not responsible for more than ten or eleven deaths. The deaths were the result of two different attacks. The first incident, known as the Pottawatomie Creek Massacre, occurred during the border wars in "bleeding" Kansas in May 1856. Brown's men attacked five pro-slavery settlers, hacking them to death with broadswords. Most historians believe Brown participated in the massacre. Brown himself denied direct involvement even though he condoned (and probably planned) the attack. The second incident was the Raid on Harper's Ferry, Va. (now W. Va.) in October 1859. After their raid on the town, Brown's men, garrisoned inside the armory which they had successfully captured, killed four or five men (and wounded about ten more) in their gun battle with militia and troops outside. One other death occurred a day earlier: a man was shot and fatally wounded when Brown and his men stopped and fired on a B&O train arriving into Harper's Ferry. The man, Hayward Sheppard, was a baggage master, shot while alerting passengers of the danger. Ironically, Sheppard, the first casualty of the raid, was a free black man.
