Questions About John Brown

[maharba]

Who all, we NOW know of, funded John Brown's attempt to break up the Union in his mayhem? Who were the 'Secret Six' and how many many more were there, and how many more plots against the Union and the Constitution were they hatching, besides the old insane man Brown? I believe Frederick Douglas fled the country to Canada and expected to be arrested for his aid to John Brown. In his Cooper Union speech, Abraham Lincoln appears to tempt fate and in mocking Southerns who still were for the Union --claiming that no 'Black Republicans' could possibly be implicated. Was Abraham Lincoln himself, at some financial level, a supporter of John Brown? Was Seward a financial contributor to John Brown?
