5: John Brown Goes to Court (Part 4)
He led a massacre. He led a raid. And now, in the final episode of this series, anti-slavery crusader John Brown goes on trial. His trial had everything – peanut shells, a cozy cot, and not a speck of justice in sight. In John Brown’s final act, he became a martyr. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from: “Midnight Rising: John Brown and the Raid That Sparked the Civil War” by Tony Horwitz “To Purge This Land With Blood: A Biography of John Brown” by Stephen Oates Famous Trials - John Brown https://www.famous-trials.com/johnbrown The John Brown Online Exhibit - West Virginia Archives & History - https://archive.wvculture.org/history/jbexhibit/jbintroduction.html Are you enjoying An Old Timey Podcast?
