He was a radical. He killed people. He contributed to the "growing tensions of the U.S"...And he helped to bring an end to the system whereby young babies were born into lives of slavery, rape, murder, depredation and inhumaity.
Radicalism is the only option in these conditions.

@Pillboxesghost Better freedom with bigotry than chattel slavery. So, yeah, compared to enslaving an entire race of people, wanting them to be free but not equal is a good damn step. You defend a government that fed the poor southern white into the meatgrinder to defend the interests of the slave-holding gentry, and think that that's totally cool because the abolitionists were ALMOST as bigoted as the people you're defending? Lesser of two evils, man.

@MasterEled And the authorship is attributed to Thomas Brigham Bishop, who was a Union soldier.
-
@MasterEled It's about how he's dead but his cause still lives on.
One common verse to the song includes the words "we'll hang Jeff Davis from a sour apple tree."
-
@SamHagagaga It is a song about him "a-moulderin'" in the grave at a time when he was still alive whilst facetiously stating "but his soul goes marching on." They were mocking him by singing a sardonic song and essentially calling his plight all he would have left when he died. Make more sense to you now?
-
@MasterEled John Brown was VERY unpopular in the south, so a song praising him would naturally not be a Confederate song.
-
@SamHagagaga You believe it to be a Union song? How do you figure?
-
@MasterEled You are correct about one thing. However, it was not a Confederate song.
-
GOD BLESS THE UNION! Down with the traitors!

John brown was pro abolitionists
-
@Pillboxesghost They were exactly as evil, and more evil than the racists among the abolitionists, who are more evil than a modern anti-racist.

Please try to keep the comments civil. It's ok to disagree (it's called free speech) but if your incapable of uttering intelligent comments vulgarity will get your comments removed. If it's bad enough you will be blocked.

this was made before battle hymn of the republic, and was a confederate song.

Actually there was a Federal and Confederate version before the Battle Hymn of the Republic.
