John Brown - Murder or Martyr

Slavery was terrible, and John Brown used violence to fight against it. He was known as an abolitionist who led many rebellions to represent what he believed. I think John Brown is a martyr because he died knowing that he stood for what he believed in, which is actually the definition of a martyr. John Brown wrote a letter saying that he hopes his message against slavery will be shared on and that slavery will come to an end. John Brown died December 2, 1859, knowing what he did was trying to end slavery. For this reason, I think John Brown is a martyr.
