This reminds me of two things. Of a meme video of John brown burning down the house and freeing the slave harem of a isekai hero and the John brown isekai story.

The only thing he did wrong was poorly lead a raid.

This sub loves John Brown but he’s a terrible role model. People like Abraham Lincoln actually freed the slaves. John Brown just got people killed. Being on the right side of history isn’t worth anything if you just get people killed and don’t actually free any slaves.
And yes, I know all the edgy teenagers are gonna downvote me because they long for righteous struggle along with all the “antiracists” who think my comments are somehow “pro-slavery”

Extremism on one side instigates and justifies extremism on the other. It’s easy to look back on history and say who was right and wrong but it’s something else entirely to live through a civil war, an insurgency, and a general collapse of the economy and law and order.

Yes, he did. His plan was terrible, and if it even succeeded, it would have forced the federal government to side with the slave state governments in putting the rebellion down.

I’d say directly sparking match to years of innocent blood being shed in the Kansas territory for absoloutly no reason is a pretty wrong thing.
