          He was hung by that bastard Lee, the failure of Brown was neither spirit or tactics it was method. He shouldve kept at bleeding the slavers and eventually he may have killed enough to succeed at starting a slave revolt. The problem is he jumped two steps ahead.

            He was hanged for committing crimes against the United States. He was one of the sparks of the war yes, but Grant would’ve executed him too.

            Don’t forget that the heroes of the civil war immediately went west to commit a horrific genocide.
