Questions About John Brown

[Gene C]

My Name is Kate, you make some valid points. Yours and Eva's life experiences and perspective are somewhat different than mine so I appreciate your sharing them with us. I agree with some of the things you say, and had I walked in your shoes and had your life experiences, I might agree more with what you have said. I think it's good that you look beyond the facts of history and look for the "why".

Like you, many of us are troubled when we see some of the bad parts of our history repeat themselves, or about to repeat. IMO, Lincoln was a man of faith who understood this, and was also troubled by it.
