Questions About John Brown

[My Name Is Kate]

From all the facts I have at this point (not all that many, but maybe enough), I agree with Lincoln. On the other hand, in the opinion of most Southerners, it was also Lincoln who was attempting to destroy government as they knew it.

Who was responsible for all the deaths in the Civil War? (a question posed by someone in another thread) How can it be narrowed down to just one person, or even a few people? It wasn't John Brown alone, or Lincoln alone. And Lincoln was not just some old man sitting safely behind a desk while he sent hundreds of thousands of young men to their deaths needlessly. He did end up being one of the last casualties in the Civil War, and he suffered greatly for four years, along with so many others.
