Today in History we learned about the Harpers Ferry raid. This raid was started by an Abolishionist man named John Brown. In Harper's Ferry Virginia, Brown and his followers took control of the arsenal. By doing this, they attempted to start a slave rebellion. They gave weapons out from the arsenal to slaves in the hope that they would rebel. At the end of this event, however, John Brown was given the death sentence.
Today in English we took a quiz on Huckleberry Finn. After taking this quiz, we discuss the Huckleberry Finn Anticipation Guide and the chapters we had been assigned to read. A big question on this anticipation guide whether you should be willing to die for your freedom. I bel;eived that you shouldnt because life is what we should treasure most above freedom. Without freedom, you can still exist. Without life, its questionable ifyou can.
If John Brown was given this anticipation guide, he would no doubt agree that freedom is worth dying for. John Brown in fact diid die for freedom. He beleived that being free was worth anything he could give, and everything he had. John Brown was a true example of strongly beleiving in freedom.
