John Brown’s Raid:
• In 1859, John Brown and his followers seized a federal arsenal in Harpers Ferry, Virginia.
"Now, if it is deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life
for the furtherance of the ends of justice, and mingle my
blood further with the blood of millions in this slave country
whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel, and unjust
enactments, I say, let it be done."
--John Brown, statement at his sentencing on Nov. 2, 1859
"[John Brown is] that new saint, than whom none purer or more brave was ever led by love of men into conflict and death,--the new saint awaiting his martyrdom, and who, if he shall suffer, will make the gallows glorious like the cross."--Ralph Waldo Emerson, from his lecture "Courage," delivered in Boston on Nov. 8, 1859
