Compare John Brown to Harriet Beecher Stowe. Be sure to address their feelings about slavery.
Answer:
Harriet Beecher Stowe: Used nonviolence to try to end slavery.
John Brown: Raided Harpers Ferry, used violence to try to end slavery, was put on trial for treason and hanged.
Both Stowe and Brown: Wanted slavery to end, influenced others to try to end slavery.
Stowe (1811-1896) was an American woman writer and persistent abolitionist, who wrote several books about slavery, with the sole purpose of influencing others to end it. Some of them were Uncle Tom’s Cabin, a novel presenting daily experiences of slaves that made the reader engage in it, making slavery personal and relatable, A Key to Uncle Tom’s Cabin, consisting of documents and testimonies to verify the accuracy of the last book, and Dred: A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp, in which she portrayed slavery institution as one that demeaned society.
John Brown (1800-1859), though a firm abolitionist as well, believed in the violent overthrow of the slavery system. He contributed to many antislavery causes, such as the publication of David Walker's Appeal and Henry Highland's "Call to Rebellion" speech, he gave land to fugitive slaves, raised a black young men, participated in the Underground Railroad and helped establish the League of Gileadites, an organization aiming to protect escaped slaves from slave catchers.
In the 1850s, he also became the leader of antislavery guerillas. In October 1859, he raided Harpers Ferry, Virginia. He and 21 men (5 blacks and 16 whites) attacked and occupied its federal arsenal in order to get supplies and use them to arm a slave rebellion.
However, the raid wasn't successful. Brown was captured, tried, convicted of treason and hanged on December 2, 1859.
