Copperhead, The raid was far from the beginning of his intentions.

[MrCopperhead1861]

Just so all know, the first man to die in the Raid on Harper's Ferry raid was a free black man who was a postal worker. It kind tarnished his intent from the very beginning.

Thanks David... America is such hipocrates. John Brown witness slavery and fought against the dragon ( institution of slavery) and ascended into glory.

Thank you for this, made me smile !

[treebeard384]

we just learned about John Brown in history class and our teacher portrayed him as a complete lunatic

[deadonred]

Actually Lincoln called him a "misguided fanatic" : P

Great song. I look forward to see you in Macomb, IL.

David Rovice makes me proud to be from the US!

[MrCopperhead1861]

@nowellian If more were like David, he wouldn't need to protest. :) He's a great song writer and better person.

THANKS for sharing powerful historical ballad about John Brown.. help enlighten folks. Frederick Douglass gave a tribute to John Brown in 1881. The Library of Congress has good pics & archives. I like your musicianship & the somber tune. I imagine a piano/synthisizer, cello & violin added with some mezzo harmony:) Feel free to take & use our CourtneyClan Depression Blues song. See on YouTube. When will you be in AZ? I have friends & family there & will spread the word about you. LoveU.

Great song, looking forward to seeing you in Liverpool again in May, keep it up.

[JeanySullivan]

David - Great to hear a new tune. Powerful words with some history I didn't know about "Beecher's Bible." Good to hear from you.

Abolition of the slave trade from below so many struggled; some stand out still - it is good to recall John Bown whose "truth" goes marching on...

the ongoing class war since to "abolish wage slavery" will require us all

- keep up the good work & PLAY!

[SCODgreenhood]

Long live John Brown! His immortal soul goes marching on. *****
