John Brown, abolitionist : the man who killed slavery, sparked the Civil War, and seeded civil rights / David S. Reynolds. by Reynolds, David S., 1948- New York : Alfred A.

Requests:  0 Summary:  John Brown, the controversial Abolitionist who used terrorist tactics against slavery, single-handedly changed the course of American history. This biography by critic and cultural biographer Reynolds brings to life the Puritan warrior who gripped slavery by the throat and triggered the Civil War. Reynolds demonstrates that Brown's most violent acts--his slaughter of unarmed citizens in Kansas, his liberation of slaves in Missouri, and his dramatic raid, in October 1859, on the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia--were inspired by the slave revolts, guerrilla warfare, and revolutionary Christianity of the day. He shows us how Brown seized the nation's attention, creating sudden unity in the North and infuriating the South. He reveals the true depth of Brown's achievement: not only did Brown spark the war that ended slavery, but he planted the seeds of the civil rights movement by making a pioneering demand for complete social and political equality for America's ethnic minorities.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.7116 Brown Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Biography B BROWN, John Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.7116 Brown Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.7116 Brown Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.7116 Brown Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 973.7116 Brown Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList
