he thought he was a spoiled brat with horrible table manners.
Douglass did meet with John Brown and could have been charged with conspiracy. But Douglass thought the idea of a "slave war" was a mistake, one that would lead to reprisals and the deaths of innocent slaves.
Frederick Douglass first met abolitionist John Brown in 1847. Their meeting took place in Springfield, Massachusetts, where they discussed their shared commitment to ending slavery and Brown's radical approach to achieving that goal. Douglass was impressed by Brown's dedication but was cautious about his methods, particularly regarding violent resistance. Their relationship would later be marked by mutual respect, despite differences in strategy.
Stephen Douglas was not an abolitionist. He was a prominent politician known for his support of popular sovereignty, which allowed territories to decide for themselves whether to allow slavery, rather than actively opposing it. In contrast, John Brown, Frederick Douglass, and William Lloyd Garrison were all staunch advocates for the abolition of slavery.
Frederick Douglass praised John Brown for his unwavering commitment to abolition and the fight against slavery. He admired Brown's bravery and willingness to sacrifice his life for the cause, viewing him as a martyr for freedom. However, Douglass also expressed concerns about Brown's tactics, particularly the violence involved in his raid on Harpers Ferry, believing that a more strategic approach might have garnered broader support for the abolitionist movement. Ultimately, Douglass recognized Brown as a significant figure in the struggle for justice.
His friends are people that are diligent like Harriet Tubman

There is no knowledge of the members, be it a secret... however John Brown knew important people. Brown dined at Ralph Waldo Emerson's home, had tea with Henery David Thoreau, discussed theology with the abolitionist minister Theodore Dwight Weid and, even outlined his scheme to Frederick Douglass (Although Douglass a noted black abolitionist warned Brown against his "John Brown's Raid" plans, which occurred at Harper's Ferry, Virginia in 1856).
