John Brown was an abolitionist who initiated a slave revolt in Harpers Ferry in October of 1859. This action is one many of the events that led up to the Civil War.
Here John Brown aimed at human slavery a blow that woke a guilty nation. With him fought seven slaves and sons of slaves. Over his crucified corpse marched 200,000 black soldiers and 4,000,000 freedmen singing "John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave but his soul goes marching on!"
