Pictured above is the famous John Brown of Kansas who felt very strongly against the ideals of slavery. He hated slavery with every fiber of his being. He was responsible for the deaths of 5 people in the Pottawatomie Massacre. He tried to lead a slave revolt by capturing an arsenal in Harpers Ferry, Virginia. Some people approved of his actions while some called him a radical and a terrorist.
Questions to Consider:
What is the difference between having strong beliefs and being a radical? Is it an act of terrorism if you agree with the principles behind it?
