John Brown - Martyr or Murderer?

After finishing the lecture on the events leading up to the Civil war, students reviewed by discussing whether the events were examples of compromise or conflict. Next, students looked at a variety of US History textbooks. They read the sections dealing with the abolitionists John Brown. Students compared and contrasted the different texts and their widely varied description of the man and his actions.
