Questions About John Brown

[My Name Is Kate]

This forum is about Lincoln and the Civil War era. That is why I try to leave out the problems in the present (though I could probably say a great deal about that). I am not trying to pinpoint the blame on any one person in the past for the problems in the present, even though the present problems are likely a result of things that transpired throughout the past. My reason for being on this forum is to try to understand how race relations in this country have deteriorated to the level they are now at. I never claimed to have the answers to much of anything. As you may have noticed, my contribution to this forum (if I have made any contribution) is mostly in asking questions, not in providing answers.
