Abolitionism

John Brown was among many antislavery people in the antebellum period, but he was ultimately distinguished by his determination to use force when necessary against proslavery violence. In 1855, Brown joined his sons, who had moved to the Kansas territory, which was then in a ballot contest between proslavery and antislavery settlers over whether Kansas would enter the Union as a free state or slave state. The majority of settlers were antislavery people, but proslavery terrorists flooded into Kansas from Missouri and the South, and used violence and terrorism to force slavery. Brown's sons were avowed antislavery people and drew the hostility of proslavery neighbors who plotted against them with the intention of bringing armed terrorists against them. With no recourse to law or protection from territorial or federal forces, they were in certain danger. Learning of this, Brown and a group of men, including some of his sons, identified the key conspirators and killed them in order to thwart their attack. In modern terms, Brown's actions were taken in a wartime context and while they were martial killings, they were undertaken to preempt a terrorist assault. These facts mitigate against labeling Brown a "radical murderer," although this if often the assumption of prejudiced and unlearned people. The killings of five men had no collateral damage and were strategic, so they were comparable more to modern attacks on terrorist cells or terrorist leaders. Leading biographers and students of Brown, such as David Reynolds, Paul Finkelman, and Louis DeCaro would disagree with the conventional 20th century notion of Brown as a radical murderer. This view tended to reflect the pro-Southern revisionism that dominated historical writing during the era of the Civil Rights era. However unpleasant, there is substantial evidence that the "Pottawatomie massacre" actually was a preemptive strike that primarily involved securing the immediate security of the Brown family and other free state neighbors placed in jeopardy by proslavery conspirators in their neighborhood.

Radical abolitionist John Brown and his sons already had massacred pro -slavery people in Kansas. He escaped the law and then was funded by rich New England abolitionists to incite a slave riot. He took over a Federal arsenal and with the weapons tried to incite a slave revolution. No slaves joined him and he was hanged for treason.

It was called black codes.

William Lloyd Garrison was an ardent abolitionist. He was the founder of the American Anti-Slavery Society. He was also the editor of his own newspaper that advocated the abolition of slavery.

he would help people by taking them into an old building and he would use whatever he could to help the other person if they were shot he would take like a bandage or some toilet paper and make them hold it on their wound!

Regarding this question to mean John Brown, his trial was given much attention in the North. This was especially true for the abolitionist movement. They considered Brown to be a martyr. Most Americans did not like the violence he committed. His trial was a quick one, so there was not allot of time to talk about him. He was hanged for treason shortly after his attempted slave revolt.

John Brown, several of his sons, and other abolitionists attacked and took over the Federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry in Virginia. Their goal was to obtain arms and distribute them to slaves in order to begin a slave revolt in Virginia. They hoped the revolt would spread and help bring an end to slavery. No slaves took up Brown's offer. He was hanged in December of 1859 for treason. He left a legacy of being a man of freedom and justice, however, that ignores the murders he was accused of in Kansas.

William Lloyd Garrison was an outspoken and radical abolitionist. He used his newspaper and public speaking engagements to convince others that slavery should be abolished. At one point in the antebellum days he burned a copy of the US Constitution to protest slavery.

Brown (John Brown) and his men killed five pro-slavery men in cold blood in Kansas in what became known as the Pottawatomie Massacre.

He was courageous, brave, a hard working individual.

John Brown kept no party affiliation for decades and was not a supporter of any political party throughout his public career as an abolitionist. Brown was a big supporter of John Quincy Adams, who was an abolitionist, and whose administration also appointed Brown as postmaster in Randolph Township, near Meadville, Pa., in the 1820s. But thereafter Brown never supported any candidate or party that I am aware of, and I doubt he would have supported Abraham Lincoln, who was elected in 1860 because he was actually a moderate in his attitude toward dealing with slavery. Brown would have had no patience with someone willing to limit slavery's expansion but not willing to abolish it. According to journalist William A. Phillips, in early 1859, Brown told him that he believed that the South would secede from the Union if a Republican was elected in the next presidential election. Seems Old Brown was correct.

He worked with Abraham Lincoln on the issue of freeing slaves during the Civil War.

The statement that least characterizes the abolitionist movement is that it accepted the continuation of slavery under certain circumstances. Abolitionists fought for the complete and immediate end of slavery, advocating for the freedom and equal rights of all enslaved individuals.
