This clip Dick Gregory speaks on the abolitionist movement. An abolitionist was a person who wanted to do away with slavery. In the 1830's abolitionists began to speak out in public. One notable abolitionist was a man by the name of John Brown (May 9, 1800 -- December 2, 1859). He was an American revolutionary abolitionist, who in the 1850s advocated and practiced armed insurrection as a means to abolish slavery in the United States. Brown has been called "the most controversial of all 19th-century Americans" and "America's first domestic terrorist." Brown's attempt in 1859 to start a liberation movement among enslaved African Americans in Harpers Ferry, Virginia electrified the nation. He was tried for treason against the Commonwealth of Virginia, the murder of five pro-slavery Southerners, and inciting a slave insurrection, found guilty on all counts, and was hanged. Southerners alleged that his rebellion was the tip of the abolitionist iceberg and represented the wishes of the Republican Party to end slavery. Historians agree that the Harpers Ferry raid in 1859 escalated tensions that, a year later, led to secession and the American Civil War.
