For example, as I've been saying in all my recent posts in this thread, John Brown's method of arming and aiding the slaves, but not encouraging them to kill unless they were forced to, in self-defense. And it very probably would have been necessary. Then so be it.
By whom and how should 4 million have been armed? Would that have been more legal and less bloody? And again - how should the hypothetically this way freed slaves have changed their status in the constitution?
