Assuredly, if insurrection (rebellion) is ever a sacred duty, it must be when it is directed against Slavery. John Brown endeavored (tried) to commence the work of emancipation (freeing slaves) by the liberation (freeing) of slaves in Virginia. Pious (religious), austere (serious), animated with the old Puritan spirit, inspired by the spirit of the Gospel, he sounded to these men, these oppressed brothers, the rallying cry of Freedom.”

Burton From George Mauzy, a citizen of Harpers Ferry, Virginia December 3, 1859 Excerpt: “ This has been one of the most remarkable circumstances that ever occurred in this country, this old fanatic made no confession whatever, nor concession that he was wrong, but contended that he was right in everything he done, that he done great service to God, would not let a minister of any denomination come near or say anything to him, but what else could be expected from him, or anyone else who are imbued (filled) with ‘Freeloveism, Socialism, Spiritualism,’ and all the other isms that were ever devised by man or devil.”
