Murderer or Martyr?

Was John Brown a good or bad guy? It really could be argued either way, but I think that John Brown in a martyr. I think that what he was trying to do was abolish slavery. He really had a strong opinion, and was an extreme abolitionist. John Brown wasn’t just going around, killing people for no reason. He was doing it to stand up for slaves rights. It is not right just to treat slaves as, “objects,” and be physically abused because they are humans, just like us. Brown really believed in slave rights, and was a die hard abolitionist. He basically risked his own life to stop slavery. John Brown may have been killed, but he put forth an effort to stop slavery. A martyr is a person who is killed because of their beliefs. John Brown was killed for his beliefs. People may call him crazy, but I think he was a hero.
