John Brown was a crazy and passionate man. He led raids and rebellions. He stood up for what he believed in but not in always the right ways. He should have been a little more peaceful.

I agree with josiah, i mean to have that much passion and hate towards people who were pro-slavery, that he would go on raids and even kill some of them to get your point across, he must have quite an obsession with his cause, and for that you have to admire him for giving the "pro-slavist" what they deserved.
