I, John Brown, had commit nothing but an eye for an eye and to free the enslaved. If my blood is equivalent to the blood of millions in this enslaved country whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel, and unjust enactments, so let it be done.
In 36 hours, General Robert E. Lee and US Marines, militia men, and farmers captured or killed Brown's men who were too late to flee. While John Brown was on trial for murder, treason, and attempt for slave uprise, justified his actions because he stated that they were based off of Christian principles and his plan was to free a few enslaved without shedding blood.
