Summary

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
