and John Brown’s body is still moldering in the grave
Yeah- he was definitely commitable at that point. And the abolitionists had great difficulty claiming him after that.
Hero, traitor, lightning rod, whatever- he was all that.
Crazy in my book.
Moldering’s well done by now.
He’s not a hero of mine, but an interesting character in the Conflict.

Nonsense. The greatest thing any individual has is their pwn life. It is not easily given for something one does not believe in. I need only point to modern day terrorists who are generally middle class or better and yet decide to kill themselves and others in the name of their pederast prophet
You’ve been drinking I suspect.
Us old dudes have less to lose, straight up.
I’m not worried about the afterlife...
Don’t drink so you must be confused.
Perhaps you were posting from a cell phone- my apologies.
Your post was garbled...
