Being sentenced for rebellion & for fighting against slave owners

“Had I so interfered on behalf of the rich, the powerful, the intelligent, the so-called great, or on behalf of their friends…and suffered and sacrificed what I have in this interference…every man in this court would have deemed it worthy of reward rather than punishment.”
— John Brown, speaking on November 2, 1859 during his sentencing.
