Slavery had the nut John Brown and we’re saddled with this nut (and others). Of course, I’m still not sure if this nut really cared at all about abortion. At least, JB was definitely obsessed with slavery.
But, of course, expecting libs - and academic libs - to remember history is expecting too much.
You use the term “nut” freely. “Slavery had the nut John Brown...” What do you mean by that statement and do you really know Brown’s history?
