Liberal Lunatic demanding "Change!" Willing to shed other people's blood to accomplish it.

Also failed wool merchant. Cotton you see, was his financial competitor. No wonder he resented free labor being used by his corporate enemy.

There's usually a money angle when you look for it.

Brown was a terrorist and psychopathic, however, he did not make promises with his mouth his butt wouldn't pay on. I cannot imagine even the Antifa scum let alone the PJ boys being willing to play Alamo with half the town and county shooting at you and a the USMC on the scene looking for the fight. Most of Brown's backers were weasels except Thomas Wentworth Higginson who was a company grade officer in the 54th Mass. and saw plenty of combat. After the war Higginson became positively chummy with Jefferson Davis as he acted as the publishers editor for Davis's magnum opus ‘Rise and Fall of the Confederacy’. Go figure, Higginson was also ga ga about Thomas Nelson Page and his rather syrupy plantation novels.

Even from your bunker in Bizarro World, you ought to realize that even if he resented the cotton business it wouldn't have been the use of free labor that he complained about.

John Brown spent a lot of time working with Massachusetts wool merchants and other wealthy Massachusetts liberals. It was these wealthy liberal elites who financed his raid.

Distorted in so many ways. Brown wanted to get higher prices for the farmers from the woolen manufacturers. He wasn't on the side of the big manufacturers. When Brown became known as an abolitionist activist he connected with several upscale Easterners who gave him money. Most of them weren't truly rich and I don't see that any of them was especially active in the wool trade. But hey, why let facts stand in the way of an idiotic conspiracy theory?
