John Brown thought deeply that slavery was morally unacceptable. So he wanted slavery to be stopped right away. His idea to give guns to the slaves was actually well thought of but like any other plans throughout history, all the ideas did not come together at that time. He was labeled later on as a crazy person because no one wanted to deal with the grave issues. But in 1860, events led to the Civil War which has more death and annihilation than John Brown had planned.

Through all the eventful centuries since Christ’s time, and long before that, God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand storms; but he cannot save them from sawmills and fools; this is left to the American people.
